[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 450338, member: 9"] Please talk to an atty before you continue to let him have unsupervised visitation. Be very very careful letting him take the kids. Right now you both have equal rights. You can deny him and he can take them "fishing" never come back and deny you until you take him to court. When I left difficult child's dad I had not filed for a divorce or anything yet. He picked her up two weekends in a row. The 2nd weekend he never brought her back. I thought I was going to die. I had no idea where they were. I searched everywhere that I knew of. I spoke to an attorney and found out he could hide her until we got to court for a judge to make a decision. It took almost 5 weeks. I did get her back but there is another issue. You have something going for you, the kids live with you now and he left. In Texas posession is 9/10 of the law. He could very well have gotten custody if he could have shoown he had already put a real home together. Thankfully he was living from one person's place to another to hide her from me. Your comment about not being able to keep them away with-o a court order is not true at all. You have enough proof of his previous activities and current ones to explain to the judge why you stopped regular visition. The judge might end up holding it against you if you knew he was on drugs and still let him have the kids unsupervised. If you feel that guilty or scared about him not seeing the kids then if it were me, I would set up supervised visition in my own home and not let them go anywhere with-o you. That's just my two cents. I just want you to be careful. Talk to an attorney. They dont' charge for the initial interview normally. Laws are different in different states but the general rule is about the same when there is nothing in place and both are biological parents. [/QUOTE]
