    What do you have to have to get only supervised visitation with your child?
    My husband was only given supervised visitation with his child during his divorce with his exwife, there were no grounds for him having supervised visits and she still won't allow him to see his child, what can we do? There were no reports ever to the police, DCS, or any medical evidence of any kind he was a threat to the child. He has no history of abuse or neglect or any criminal background. Her attorney and the judge were friends and the judge didn't even listen to my husband's attorney and already had his mind made up before the hearing even started. Now the mother and mostly the grandmother will not even allow him to see his child supervised by them because its just never a good time. He hasn't seen her in over a year, pays child support, and his exwife will not answer any kind of contact at all my husband tries to make to check on his daughter or see when he could see her. We now live 3 hours away and she was upset that he moved that far away but we are willing to do all the driving and traveling just so that my husband can have a relationship with his child. What can we do? Is what the judge did ethical?

    It doesn't matter if the Judge was or wasn't ethical. That wouldn't be my main concern right now. My concern would be getting visitation with the child.

    Your husband has to go back to Court and file for unsupervised visitation AND ask that the mother be held in contempt for not allowing him to have supervised visitation.

    There has to be a reason why supervised visitation was ordered - it could be that he saw little of the child and there was a concern that he was a stranger to the child or just about anything else.

    I'm amazed that it's been over a year and your husband hasn't taken the mother to Court.

    There are various procedures, depending on which state you are in, for challenging a judge on the basis of bias. You might look into the feasability of getting a change of judge.

    Your attorney should know what to do when this happened, if he does not, get a better attorney
