SOC
IMPORTANT ?
LAWYER IN FLORIDA WANTS DH TO PROVIDE COURTS WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUND RECORD TO EASE THE JUDGES MIND ABOUT GIVING HIM VISITATION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 12 YEARS.HE HAS NEVER FILED FOR VISITATION! CS ORDER IS IN OUR STATE (INDIANA) CHILD AND MOTHER RESIDE IN FLORIDA. THE REASON LAWYER SAYS WE SHOULD DO THIS IS TO AVOID A STATE TO STATE HOME STUDY.WE CAN HAVE A HOME STUDY DONE HERE IN OUR STATE IT WILL OF COURSE BE OUT OF OUR POCKET,BUT IM THINKING THAT IT MIGHT BE A BETTER IDEA AND HAVE THEM SEND IT TO THE FLORIDA COURTS.REASON BEING IS THAT DH HAS HAD A ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGE IN THE PAST.WILL THAT AFFECT HIM GETTING VISITATION? AND WHAT KIND OF FIRST TIME VISIT PLAN WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE TO A JUDGE WHOM HAS CUSTODY OF HER OWN GRANDCHILDREN?. PLEASE NOTE DH HAS VISITED WITH HER BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND UNDER MOMS TERMS!


CHILD IS NEVER TO LEAVE THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH DH. BUT NOW DH IS TRYING TO GET IT COURT ORDERED SO THERE IS NO MORE CONFLICT WE HAVE PROOF OF KEEPING IN CONTACT BUT NOT TO MANY VISITS.MAINLY GIFTS,LETTERS PHONE CALLS EMAILS,SCHOOL SENDS REPORT CARDS ETC. ANY ADVISE PLEASE THANKS JKW

Does the custodial parent know about the past criminal record? If so, I can guarantee that the record will be offered as evidence to imply that you are habitually violent or that your character is of a violent nature.

If not, then it is still quite possible that you will be discovered, so it's probably better to just come clean up front.
