Confused over ex-wife's supervised visits

Hi There, I am the custodial parent of a two year old and his mother only has supervised visits. There is an issue that I am confused over. I complained to the supervising agency because they let my ex-wife take my son to her child molesting mother's house. Although her being a child molester is hearsay, this is none the less fact according to my ex's accounts. I called them(the supervising agency) to discuss this visit and I was just berated by the owner of the company. He said if I complain again, then he would write an unfavorable report to the court saying that I was uncooperative. I feel I am completely within my rights to talk to them about this since I am paying for half of the visit and am looking out for the best interest of my son. I spoke with my lawyer about this but I feel he does not want to get in the middle of this for some reason. Feeling lost. Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps you should have your attorney discuss these issues with the agency for you, rather than attempting to discuss them directly.

I already had my attorney speak with the agency and they were just as unplesant to him. He told them we would be trying to use a different agency as well. I'm not sure of their resonse to him, but their response to me was 'good luck'. Can I call the BBB or contact someone in the DA's office abouthe this? I dont like being bullied when I'm paying for the 1/2 the service and my son's welfare is at stake.

Talk to your lawyer about the possibility of asking the court to switch supervision duties to another agency.

I would also report it to the BBB (if they are a member) and any organizations that they are affiliated with.

I'm thinking about it, but don't want to get into trouble for complaining.

These people are making me out to be the bad guy when I'm just looking out for my son.... Its a shame.

You don't have to give your name to file a complaint. If these are SUPERVISED visitations, WTH are they letting her take the child anywhere? If they are letting her leave unsupervised with the child and the CO specifically states she must be supervised, have your lawyer bring it to the courts attention BEFORE you file your complaints. That way if they do try and file an unfavorable report, it won't mean anything if their credibility has already be brought into question.

One other thing, IF they are violating the CO, look into suing them in small claims court for the money you have paid. You paid them to provide a service and they clearly did not abide by the contract.
