My main concern is my child's safety. Since there is a domestic violence injunction in place I don't have any idea where my child is all weekend nor do I have any way to communicate with him or care giver (father). Also, I find it unreasonable for a judge not to slowly transition a 20 month old child from 2hr visits 1x a week to a 3 day weekend with a father who's practically a stranger. He's missed 8 supervised visits including all Holidays. My son has already had his first weekend with him and came back completely unrecognizable. Extremely independent, quiet, constantly whining, throwing tantrums, and extra attached to me. I know its always a difficult transition but Ireally wish we could have slowly worked our way up to 3 days and 2 sleepovers.

I have 2 kids under 2 years old who since father abandoned the home have had supervised visitation 1x a weekly for 2hrs. I went in yesterday to a hearing for temporary child support since dad hasn't paid a dime for about a year and judge decides out of the blue to drop supervised visits and grant him 50/50. There is a perminant domestic violence injunction in place, father has a lengthy criminal record, lives 1.5 hrs away and his license is once again suspended for reckless driving. I feel battered and abused by this system and with nowhere to turn. Please advice!  - Florida
