Can I Request Supervised Visits

[rima81]

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Texas. I'm separated from my husband and currently have primary joint custody of our 2 year old. Yesterday, he sent me several text messages stating that he was going to hurt himself, I wouldn't be happy until he was dead and he should just make me happy and that when something happens to him, I should know it is my fault. This isn't the first time he has done something like this but not since we had our child was born. I contacted his family immediately (he lives with his parents and he was home when he texted me) and they said they were taking care of it and not to concern myself. Is there any possible way to stop him from having unsupervised visitation until he gets help or to a better place mentally? I don't feel comfortable sending my child there if he's talking that way. Thank you.

Is there currently a visitation order?

As I told another poster recently, you can REQUEST the sun, the moon and the stars. There is no guarantee that you will get everything you request.

Yes, it's the standard visitation that we got when I filed for child support.

Ok, then you can't unilaterally decide not to allow visitation, it would have to go before the court. As Cbg said, you can ask for anything but with what you stated here, I don't see enough reason for it to be granted.

The other posters may be right that it wouldn't be granted, but I would request it if it was me. Possibly just until a psych exam cleared him as stable. My ex had repeated episodes that were very similar and I recieved supervised visitation until I approved that it could be lifted. You would HAVE to have the texts saved and documents all similar incidents of concern.
