Re: visitation
If you do not have concerns about him hurting or absconding with the child, then I would advise my client to allow the visitation. At this point you are not obligated, however, the court prefers ongoing contact with both parents and your conduct in this regard will be considered.
If you DO have concerns about his behavior, then suggest a visit that is monitored -- ie at a grandparents home or similar supervised environment.
If none exists, and you can substantiate your concerns, then you are within your rights (and duties as a parent) to protect your child and withhold visitation until safeguards are in place.
You should be represented by an attorney.
