My Husband is Using Drugs and is Wants Visits Without Supervision
My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida
My husband and I split, he first agreed to supervised visits. Now he is fighting them. He was a heroin addict and now he started a suboxen program, he said " the judge will see it as I'm trying get better and I will be able r alone with her" I do believe he will not intencionaly harm her, but I'm very scare, he is not sable and been over 26 rehabs since he was 16 years old, in desespérate, I'm afraid that my 13 month old will be alone with him, he can't even drive! He is always always on something, but he always manages to get a clean urine test ( he drinks soemthing that they sell ok te smoke shops to pass drugs test) he says I'm making things up etc, I want him to be able see her but with a counselor, she is too little, he laughed of me saying his medical records are protected by Joppa law and because he started meetings and suboxen he will be granted visits with her :-(
I do have a lawyer, I'm just still afraid for my girl. She is just a baby. I haven't even ask for child support , like my only concern is her being well. Any advices ? Should involve child services? Please help!
Thanks !

You have an attorney. You need to talk to your attorney. Do not do anything that your attorney does not ok first. You need to STOP listening to your husband.

When is the last time your husband was alone with the child?

Stop talking to your husband. Listen to your lawyer.
Your husband is a drug addict and he is going to do what he can to manipulate you so just ignore him. He could get visitation even if he is a drug addict. Drug addicts get visitation all the time.

Drug addicts get supervised visitation all the time. I am not sure that I would say that they get unsupervised visitation all of the time unless we are talking about pot only.

Well depends. My ex husband is a meth addict. He has unsupervised visitation with two kids from his first marriage. Granted she went through legal aid and I think he just signed whatever she gave him. But he is supposed to get every other weekend and six weeks in the summer and then I can't remember what the holidays were. But she hasn't always let him have the kids when he was supposed to if he's been using meth again. She even used lack of child support against him (and I was with him at the time and told him to take her to court for that). But he wouldn't and I ended up paying child support so we could see the kids.
I don't know if his drug addiction ever got brought up in their divorce. He told me he never went to court for their divorce he just signed some papers. Which is weird...we got divorced in the same state as they did. I guess if he just signed whatever she gave him...he didn't show up to our hearings so I got a default decree and he was too lazy to do the parenting class online so no visitation.
I was like the OP - during the divorce I would talk to him about stuff and my lawyer would tell me stop talking to him. All he mostly did was scam me for money which lasted the first month until I found out he wasn't actually working and was getting messed up. It's been two years he hasn't bothered to get visitation in writing. He relapsed again after this most recent stay at rehab so yeah...drug addicts suck. Lesson learned hard on that.

He would end up with supervised visitation of the two children from his first marriage if his ex ever took him back to court about it.
