Can a father who gives the mother full custody of a child get shared parenting later down the road?
aw68 asked:
This man gave his ex wife, full custody of their child. And has scheduled supervised visitations. This man, does not even come to visitation to see his child. He has missed 62 visitations just since Jan. 2006. Is there a way to revoke his visitation rights? If he would ever take her back for shared parenting, could he get it?
This man has severe alcohol and drug abuse issues, but is there a prove it? My friend is worried sick about this. She is trying to be the best possible mother there is, going back to college to get a nursing degree, and spend as much possible time with her child. Her home, is the most stable environment for the child. Her ex husband called last tuesday wanting to sign away his rights. Is there a way to do that if she is not getting remarried?

I’m not an attorney so the best person to ask would be to have a free consultation w/ an attorney you find in the yellow pages. But from my understanding you can revoke his visitation rights w/ a modification to the decree/order. If he tried for shared parenting later it all depends on the circumstances and the judge but it is possible.

I agree with Stephanie. He can sign away his rights but if he does want visitation later down the road, he can file for it. Usually when the children are teens;13 or so, their wishes are given weight in court. Good Luck to your friend.
