Expert: Dan Bachert - 11/5/2009
Question
I have sole custody of my 6 year old child. Her biological father has been in prison since she was 3 for assault and battery of women, terroristic threatening, false imprisonment, and was deported back to Costa Rica in March 2009. His mother lives in the U.S. she wants the father to have 5 weeks visitation in Costa Rica. Of course I am going to fight this. What are the chances of a judge ruling that the my child can be taken to Costa Rica for visitation with the fathers background record and I believe flight risk? My daughter has never been away from me more than 4 days and the father has only paid child support at minimum wage for 2 months so he is behind on that to? What are the chances of a judge allowing my child to be taken to Costa Rica?
Answer
Hi Ariel, from what you have stated it would be my opinion that a court is not likely to grant the father's request.
