About a month ago I found out he had been cheating on me and I finally got fed up with it. That was the 6th time that I know of. But we have a kid together and no one I know thinks its a good idea to let him see Aiden without doing a supervised visitation. He is a felon, has robbery charges, domestic violence charges for stabbing or cutting his dad 3 yrs ago but I dont think that is still on his record but I am not sure and he also has a DUI. He is 25 yrs old and still lives with his parents, he dont work and if he does he only works long enough to get a few paychecks and then quits. He is not responsible enough to pay his phone bill, car note, insurance, or his restition and probation fees. His Mom has to do it all for him. I know I am back at my mom's house since I left him. But I am signing up for the Air National Guard and I will get into school and find me a part time job also once I get back from basic training. I am trying to get my life together for my sons sake but his father still thinks he is a kid. So I guess what I am getting at is... Should I listen to everyone and not let my son go to his fathers for the weekend and only have supervised visitations or should I let him go over there to see him? But even the lady at Juvenile COurt when i went to file for CHild Support told me to be careful with the unsupervised visitations because he can take Aiden and they cant do anything about it because he is the father and with me going into the military (even though it is just part time) he can claim I abandend my son.

Am glad you did move away from this very dangerous man-we men can be so beastly, and before you fall in love, give yourself a deep understanding of the man you want to live with-doing this would save you from the beast in some of the men roaming this planet

Well it sounds to me like your son would be in danger if you let him go there unsupervised. He don't need to grow up being exposed to that type of life, not good for him. Also I have read it is hard to get a child back if the other parent runs off with him, so the lady is right about that too. I think you need to keep your son away from him even though he's the father. Being a father is not a right, its a privilege. No offense, but I think you started this discussion in the wrong area.
