Having a criminal record can potentially impact your ability to get visitation rights for your child, as it may raise concerns about the safety and well-being of the child. However, the court will consider various factors such as the nature and severity of the crime, the time that has passed since the offense, and whether there has been any rehabilitation or character development. Each case is unique, so it is important to consult with a family law attorney who can provide guidance based on the specific circumstances of your situation.

It's not favorable of course, but a criminal record will not automatically preclude you from visitation rights.

The courts will consider the nature of the crime, whether conditions of parole or probation have been met and if not whether such conditions would present a hardship in caring for the child, and whether or not it's in the best interests of the child for visitation to occur.

Courts try very hard to encourage involvement of both parents in a child's life. If there is any reason to fear for their safety or well being during visitation, the court may order supervised visitation under those conditions, at least for a period of time until the court is satisfied that the parent presents no danger to the child's welfare.

If you have criminal charges against you baby father's wife do you have to give them visitation rights?

If you're in the US... First, there is no 'them' obtaining visitation. It's 'him' obtaining the visitation. The wife doesn't have a right to visitation, but the father does. Second, *you* don't have to give him anything, but the court can order it. Third, the fact that she is facing criminal charges (and you didn't say what kind of charges) does not automatically exclude him from visitation, although the court may place restrictions on his visitation--ie that it be supervised or that the wife not be allowed around the child during his visitation.
