New Jersey Unsupervised Visitation

Dad won the right to unsupervised visitation with his daughter and Mom appealed. She was concerned about his emotional problems and allegations of child abuse investigated by New Jersey DYFS. The trial judge reviewed defendant's recent psychological evaluations as well as the DYFS reports and found no basis to refuse unsupervised visitation. The parties were ordered to participate with the daughter in therapy sessions with a professional selected by the court, since they were unable to agree on a therapist themselves.  DiGiacomo v.
