Question by Lynette: Ex failed both court evaluations but never went to rehab or batterers intervention program, wants UNSUPERVISED?
Firstly, we’re in Washington state.
Secondly, I am the SOLE custodial parent-legal & physical.

Ex was ordered SUPERVISED visitation with children and to take a drug & alcohol evaluation, as well as a domestic violence evaluation and to “comply with all suggestions”-that is the order, it was written Sept. 2012.

Ex waits until a year later Sept and Oct 2013 to take evals, he fails BOTH, is referred to “58 week Batterers Intervention Programs” and “Intensive Out Patient” treatment, with random U.A.

Ex does NOT do ANY TREATMENT.
Ex serves me with papers asking for UNsupervised visits now.

What are the LOOP holes, IF ANY, that would cause the SAME judge to change their mind and give UNsupervised visitation without him “complying with” the evaluators “suggestions”?

He’s an absolute sociopath (HAS EVERY DSM CRITERIA LISTED) and I am SCARED, with NO MONEY for a lawyer.

Thank you!

How does he have money for a lawyer? There would be no reason for the judge to reverse a decision. You think you don’t have money for a lawyer, if you are poor they have legal services

@Babyboomer101-I’m not and have not handed my children over to him, he’d NEVER been UNSUPERVISED. It doesn’t say that here and that never happened, I don’t know why you said that part.

Answer by babyboomer1001
No, the judge will not lift the supervised visitation. Why is the other party handing over the child to the unsupervised parent? Nothing can be done if that person is stupid enough to do that.
