I am located in Ohio, southwestern.
I have previously posted about contempt for unpaid child support.
Now I am asking advice for modifying visits.
Right now I have sole physical and sole legal custody of my son, age 2.
His father has a set schedule of visitation, every Wednesday night and every other weekend, and split holidays.
My son was diagnosed in March with severe reactive eczema, and at the time was prescribed steroid creams and a bathing routine/outdoor exposure limits to control it.
In recent months, his eczema has gotten worse, in no small part because of his father's refusal to adhere to his bathing and exposure guidelines.
I took my son back to the pediatric dermatologist as the condition escalated. His father was present at the dermatology appointment (last Friday). After I expressed my concerns to the dermatologist, who agreed his condition is worsening, she put our son on a new medicine that is not a steroid (as the steroids can atrophy his skin if used for a prolonged time). He made no objections to the new medication at that time.
I now have 11 separate documented incidents of my son returning from his father's with severe eczema breakouts. At one point, it was like a collar radiating down from his neck.
The breaking point for me is that now, he is not only refusing to limit our son's outdoor exposure and follow his bathing routine, he is now refusing to use the new medicine prescribed for our son. He says it is "bad stuff" and will not apply it as we were instructed.
About 65% of the time, our son comes back from visits with his father with a breakout in varying degrees of severity. I have photographed it every time and it has necessitated a doctor's visit three times now.
My question is, what chance do I have of modifying visits? He already has what would probably be considered the "minimum" and I don't know if it is enough for supervised... just looking for opinions. Thanks!
