I left my husband 8 months ago. We have a 1 1/2 year old daughter together. (born before the marriage) I left because he is an alcoholic, drug dealer/user (weed/pills) and would not work and provide for his family. Since I left he has not provided anything for her. He has never even once changed a diaper (even when we were together). He has threatened me twice. Wished me dead. Continuously harassed me through texts and calls. I filed for a restraining order but dropped it after mediation and agreed visitations supervised by myself. It was all going fine until he went up to my boyfriends place of employment and threatened him the continued to harasses me through text and calls. Then he moved to Alabama. I live in Missouri. He gave me less than 24 hour notice that he was moving. Due to how unstable he is and his threatening behavior I told him even though he said he will be up once a month that he could not see our daughter. After a couple days of thinking about it I decided he can see her once a month, for 2 hours at McDonalds, supervised by me. I only decided this because when I do file for divorce I don't want him to say I wouldn't let him see her. I'm wondering is this a good course of action or do I have good cause to keep her from him? I truly believe he has anger management issues and other mental issues and if seen by a professional would be required to be on meds. Do I have good cause to have his rights terminated??
Answer
No. But, you should hire an attorney and obtain both a Judgment of Paternity and a Dissolution of Marriage. I've handled many such cases over the last 36 years and may be able to help you. Call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822.
