If there is a relative or someone close to the family supervising it has to be someone both parents agree on. Otherwise the court will choose one.
You have to go to court. if he never have had visitation before he has to apply for it in court.
Not automatically, but the father certainly has a right to move for visitation and, ordinarily, it should be granted.
Supervised.
The law does not require a father to be involved with his child. On the other hand, a father who wants visitation will almost certainly get it, altho it can be supervised or otherwise restricted if evidence suggests that the father should not be alone with the child.
The mother must bring the father's drug use to the attention of the court in order to have him deemed an unfit parent or to curtail his visitation rights so the child is not endangered while in her father's care. The court can stop visits or require supervised visits.
Supervised
Child support and visitation are separate issues. The non-payment of support would not prohibit a biological parent from being granted visitation rights. Any suspected abuse of a child should be reported to the state family and children's services (child protective services) to be investigated. If the investigation finds that abuse did occur or there is a possibility of it occurring, a judge can deny visitation or order court supervised visitation. Child support can be ordered by the court with or without visitation rights being granted to the non-custodial parent.
No, court ordered visitation can only be revoked by the judge issuing the order (sometimes by an appeal to a higher court). The mother should insist her legal representative petition for a court order to enforce her visitation rights.
She can't, unless the father is patently violent or otherwise dangerous for the child, and even then the court might approve supervised visitation.
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.
There needs to be substantial evidence of child abuse or neglect, and even that, the children should bellowed supervised visitation with the father. The damage to them, and society in general, is substantial from fatherless children. see link
the noncustodial parent is usually awarded some type of visitation rights in order to enable a relationship with the father. If the father is unfit however, them this needs to be brought to the attention of the court that the father is engaging in a lifestyle and practices that are harmful to the child. If that is found to be the case and true, then there is the possibility for either supervised visits or total denial of visitation rights until the issue is resolved.
