This is a legal hearing regarding a child custody case. Here is a summary of the main points:
The Case:
The Father: Mr. Chacon, who has a history of drug use and legal trouble, is seeking visitation with his son, Robson.
The Mother: Ms. Cardenas is seeking to keep the father's visitation supervised.
The Child: Robson is 9 years old and lives with his mother.
Key Issues:
The Father's Past: Mr. Chacon has been incarcerated and has a history of drug use and assault charges. He is now out of prison, working, and paying child support. He claims to be sober and has been passing drug tests.
Concerns for the Child's Safety: Ms. Cardenas is concerned about Mr. Chacon's past behavior and the safety of her son. She is not comfortable with unsupervised visits.
Supervised Visits: Ms. Cardenas wants supervised visits to take place in the Dallas area where she lives.
Family Support: Mr. Chacon's mother and sisters live in San Antonio and are willing to supervise visits and care for Robson while Mr. Chacon is at work.
Conservatorship: Ms. Cardenas is granted sole managing conservatorship, with exclusive rights to determine Robson's primary residence.
Possessory Conservatorship: Mr. Chacon is granted possessory conservatorship.
Nondisclosure: A nondisclosure order is issued to protect Ms. Cardenas's personal information, except for her phone number.
Visitation:
Initial Phase: Supervised visits are ordered for 7 consecutive months, starting with one overnight visit per month. Mr. Chacon must give Ms. Cardenas 5 days notice prior to each visit.
Video Visitation: Weekly video visits are ordered, from 6 PM to 7 PM on Thursdays.
Transition to Standard Visitation: After 7 consecutive supervised overnight visits, the visitation will transition to standard visitation, which includes one weekend per month, summers, and holidays.
Drug Testing: Ms. Cardenas can request hair follicle drug tests from Mr. Chacon, at his expense, prior to each supervised visit.
Alcohol Prohibition: Mr. Chacon is prohibited from consuming alcohol or intoxicating substances for 12 hours before and during any visit.
Communication: Mr. Chacon must maintain consistent communication with Ms. Cardenas throughout each visit.
Court Costs: Mr. Chacon is ordered to pay court costs within one year.
Overall, the judge attempts to balance the need to protect the child with the father's right to a relationship with his son. The judge sets a structured visitation schedule that will gradually transition to more unsupervised visits, with safeguards in place to ensure the child's safety.
