Re: child visitation

You do not say how long he was in prison, or for what, or what kind of relationship he had with your daughter before prison, or how old she is, etc. These are factors. If you are concerned about a problem, you could file a motion with the court requesting that his visitation rights be stopped or modified, depending on the reason for your request. Also, you might request a period of limited or supervised visitation until you daughter gets used to him again. You need to get with an attorney in your area.
