Will a judge allow an absent parent who have only seen the child five times at the age of 18 months to have unsupervised visitation or would it be supervised to start?

We can't predict exactly what a judge will say but unless they are a danger to the child then they may allow unsupervised visitation.

Is there a court order giving the previously absent parent specific visitation?

I don't trust the father. I moved to a different county in VA. So he took me to court in the county he thought I lived in saying I didn't have custody of the child when I did. The judge dismissed the case when I showed him my order. We both had attorneys when I took him to court for custody.

No. He saw the child four times at 18 months and one time at 5 years old. Never called on birthdays or holidays. When he did called it was always about signing over his rights.

No.

As noted, we can't predict what a judge will do. But, in my experience, when a parent tries to come back into a child's life after a long time, they usually start with supervised visits.
