Visitation..

posted 22nd Sep
Ex-SO and I split in June. Our custody agreement is simple. I have primary care, but we have joint custody of DD. He gets her every second weekend (which is all he does) and he has reasonable access, since he has 2-3 days off through the week..

Lately, he's been taking DD, dropping her off to his mother's and going out drinking. Two weeks ago, he got so drunk that his father had to carry him into the house.. while he had DD. He's had a drinking problem since we were together, it's what ruined our relationship.. he's in denial of his addiction, but whatever.

When we first split, I wanted it to be supervised visits due to his drinking, but figured, "Hey, why not give him the benefit of the doubt.." Kicking my ass now. He's voided our custody agreement, there's a clause in it about drinking and drugs around DD.

I want to file for supervised visits, but hate to know the wrath that will come with it... his family still are very involved with talking to me on FB and I know it'd cause a ton of drama I don't want  
But it is my daughters safety...

In this situation, WWYD?

Without a doubt I'd take him back to court.
his family should understand if they are looking out for your daughters best interest.

If something happens like him getting arrested or something while he has your child in his care CPS will get involved...and if they find out you still allowed visits even after knowing about his drinking while having your child (which like you said voids the custody agreement) THEY CAN TAKE YOUR KID...not that they will take your kid but that it is a possibility. My mom worked for CPS for years and she hated these cases because she kinda felt like the parents were damned if they did and damned if they didn't because of the custody agreements but to knowingly leave your child with someone who is going to get drunk they will consider child endangerment. Just FYI.

your daughter's safety is worth any wrath that comes from his family and if they really love their granddaughter they will realize and admit that he is not creating a safe environment for her. Take him back to court and redo his visitation.
