Supervised visitation visit missed

[reellis527]

My case is in Prince Georges County Maryland and this past weekend the other parent did not show for his supervised visitation...  We have had supervised for about 5 months now and this is the first time he hasn't showed.

1) Can I go back to court after one missed visit?

2) Should I continue to show up to see if he comes?

1. Are you the child's primary custodian?

2. Why do you want to go back to court?

I am the child's primary custodian.  I have sole legal and physical custody...

I want to go back to court to stop the supervised.  He got supervised as a result of a abuse against the child.  I would prefer no contact at all.  Plus when he does show he up makes all kinds of promises to the child that he never keeps and I'm constantly consoling a confused and hurt five year old child.

Send him certified mail stating that if he misses another visitation without providing you at least one day's written notice, that you will request that the court suspend all contact with the child.

Then let's see what happens.

As for promises made and not kept, this is an area of he-said she-said that is near impossible to prove to a court. So, unless you have some objective third party evidence that proves your complaint and the child's injury, you're probably wasting your time in this area.
