My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Massachusetts
Hey everyone, thanks in advance for any help provided. Here is the situation.....A few weeks ago I got a Temporary order to have custody of my son who is 21 months. The mother has some issues going on right now where she is not fit to have custody. We went in front of the judge and I had asked for supervised visits among other minor details. The order came out and she was ordered to go to therapy, however the judge granted her unsupervised visits on Monday, Friday & Saturday. The exact wording is; "Mother is to have unsupervised parenting time with the child on Monday, Friday, Saturday & any other times agreed upon by the parties. The parties are to agree on the specific dates and times of the visits." I was shocked when I saw this and extrememly dissapointed as the issues going on with the mother are severe. As of late she has started seeing someone who is without question the type of person you do not want around your kids. I actually used to be friends with this person but stopped all contact with him at the request of the mother of my child who at the time was my wife. He has a lengthy criminal record, has been to jail, and has problems with drugs. So for 3 years my wife has requested me not to bring our son around this person but now that she is at a really low point in her life (she attempted suicide in front of me and our son) and he has been there to "comfort her" all of a sudden shes okay with bringing our son around him. Now just some background on this 3rd party, this is what he does - he takes advantage of girls in vulnerable situations or at their lowest and uses it to his advantage. I have seen him do it to 2 girls in the past 4 years. The first had to be committed to a hospital by her family and the 2nd had to be dragged away by her family after he stole upwards to 15,000 dollars from her for drugs. her family was finally able to convince her after he spent a week in the hospital due to heroin use. Now I see him running the same game so to speak on the mother of my child and see her falling into his hands. All the people who have known her, her whole life notice she has been a completely different person and are trying to advise her to stay away from this individual as he is not a good person. Is there anything I can do short term to make sure my son is not around this guy? I have gone to the courts to modify the order but that court date isn't for a couple months. I have been told since there is no exact times on the order that I could use this to my advantage but I do feel bad because I do want the mother to have time with the child. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS. Just to give you a better idea of what kind of guy we are dealing with he made his move on the mother 20 minutes after she was released from the hospital after trying to committ suicide. And when we met with the mediator at court she even said herself that she could not get better with him in her life, and now he goes to her therapy appointments with her.
