Will I Get In Trouble For Keeping Child From Other Parent?
Location: Virginia
My child’s other parent frequently cancels and asks to reschedule visitation and I am always accommodating because it is only 12 hours a month total that they have legal visitation. No overnights. The visitations used to be supervised but have since become unsupervised because of good behavior. This uncouth situation is because of a history of domestic violence (felony strangulation against myself) and threats of harm against our child)
The other parent asked to reschedule two weekends ago, I obliged and gave them my Sunday in exchange for theirs. They never showed up for the makeup visitation or texted or called even when I texted them. I received a text from them the day before the next scheduled visit day asking if I heard what happened and if the same time worked. I said no to both and asked what happened. Other parent explains they got arrested. I asked what the charges were and they refused to answer. I explained that I wasn’t comfortable proceeding with visitation unless he tells me what the charges were for because of his colored past. He says he understands but still won’t divulge. I offer for us to sit down with a mediator (our previous visitation supervisor) if that would make them more comfortable. I never received a response back and no visit happened.
Should I be worried? I just want to protect my son. I wasn’t expecting to be ghosted. I’m not trying to be un-accommodating, or not follow the courts instructions, but I feel I have to at least ask for some reassurance of the situation.
