My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Nebraska & Indiana
Hello and thank you in advance.
I want to pre-face by saying I will be meeting with a couple different lawyers shortly to discuss this issue. I am basically asking here to get an idea of what answers I should be expecting from them, I do not want to hire someone with "false promises" or one who may not be competent enough, either. I am also going to try to stick to the facts.
Here is the deal, one daughter under the age of 1. Paternity has not been established. Never married.
Father lives long distance (over 500 miles)
I am wondering if I have a case to request supervised visits should the father request some sort of custody or visitation. As of now, nothing has been filed in court. The reasons for wanting supervised visitation is as follows (from most concerning to least):
1. Father has several diagnosed and treated/untreated mental illnesses (above and beyond your average depression or anxiety disorders).
2. Serious substance abuse/addiction
3. Previous threats of violence and kidnapping
4. No previous contact or consideration for child thus far/is a stranger to the child.
5. Inability to co-parent
6. Physical health issues
I do have "proof" of most of these concerns, and will consult with the lawyer I choose about what is admissible, what is relevant, etc. My curiosity here is if anyone has experienced a non custodial parent receiving supervised visitation for these issues, is it reasonable to request supervised visitation due to these issues, and how would that work when the father is long distance?
