Q: I m very concerned because my seven year old daughter has expressed that she does not want to see her father to her law guardian and the CPS worker. I was in an abusive relationship with him for many years - he tried to kill me-before our ten year relationship he was incarcerated for thirteen years for murder. yet -with all this they are still have ordered the visit and my court appointed lawyer I feel is not helping me -he seems to be pushing for the visitations as well.
A: David's Answer: You'd need to file an order to show cause & request that the Judge suspend visitation. If the Judge does not do so & you violate the order, then the Judge can monetarily sanction you, award counsel fees, order make-up visits at your expense, or possibly even consider it as a factor in switching custody. Schedule a consult with a Westchester Family Law attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
