My soon to be ex husband and I are doing through a divorce. He and I have a temporary orders hearing at the end of december. He is seeking parental allocation and parenting time with our daughter. So this is the backstory to the situation. My ex has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. I had caught him using heroin in our home more than once with our daughter and I in the home. For the sake of the family I tried to work with him to get him help so he can get clean and the family does not have to be broken up. He continued to use drugs and alcohol and I finally had enough because I became concerned for the safety of my daughter and I and his not wanting to help himself. I asked him to move out in 2012 and we broke up and he did. A few months after he left it seemed to me like he was going better so I let him visit our daughter at my home always under the supervision of my mother with me not there but I was a phone call away. After a few months I felt comfortable with him having a unsupervised daddy daughter day then he was supposed to return to my home with her. Later that evening I received a phone call from local PD asking me to come pick her up from a residence she was never supposed to be(6-22-2013). After that event the state filed a criminal case charging him with child abuse-negligence-no injury and obstructing a peace officer (7-18-2013). He ended up taking a plea deal and was only charged with obstructing a peace officer. After that event I refused to let him see our daughter again she was 3 at the time this all happened. Shortly after that he left the state and at some point came back but I had little to no contact with him. And he did not do anything to try and have contact with his daughter other than a text once in a blue moon asking to speak to her but I felt that it was best that did not happen because of the event that occurred on 6-22-2016. After that he continued to get in trouble with the courts failing to appear at court dates getting warrants for his arrest serving jail time for the warrants and most recent a arrest on 3-29-15 for careless driving no insurance and DUI. He is now on supervised probation and I think taking a prescription for suboxone to stay off of the heroin but the prescription med is just as bad as the drug it is a opiate that still gets you high and can sometimes be more addictive. Our daughter is not 6 and a half and has no idea who he is because of his leaving. He is seeking joint decision making and parenting time. He also wants to claim her tax credit every other year and wants reduced child support which we have already made a court order he agreed to in 2013. He is also almost 4,000 in the reers for support. I am willing to give him supervised visitation after he pays for full reintegration therapy. What are the chances that a judge gives him more than that or is there a chance with his history that a judge will give him nothing?
