Hi again..I am getting really nervous, court is coming up this Tuesday. I am afraid of the questions the judge will ask me - like for one, why do I think just the 2 day supervised visitation would be good for our daughter? I think I have to prove that his drug problem is a 'danger' to our daughter. The judge already knows the dad has been passing his parenting responsibilities to his mom, I explained that last time we were in court.
However, the person he stays with since I kicked him out has a history of drug use, the dad has told me this himself. I confronted him about it the other day and he said the guy "doesn't do drugs anymore" but is an alcoholic. So wouldn't that count against him too? If we are to share custody, how am I supposed to allow our daughter to go see her drug addict dad at an alcoholic's house, where there is no bedroom for our daughter to sleep in? Should I focus more on this aspect, rather than on the fact that the dad sends her to his mom's? Shouldn't I technically/legally be assuming that when he takes our daughter, she is in his care? Do you think I should approach it in this way when talking to the judge? Ugh I am so confused.
I just don't know how to explain that only 2 day visitation is in our daughter's best interests. I know my own reasons, but I don't know how to present it to the judge with legal words :/ I'm probably just being negative but I'm so afraid I'm going to lose and have to keep dealing with this.
