I got served in front of my mother’s nursing home. My ex wants supervised visitation for me. Me. I’ve had our daughter every day of her life. He’s alleging neglect and he’s citing an incident in 2023 where she went to urgent care.
She went to urgent care for an ear infection. He took her—his name is on the intake form as the accompanying parent, and the discharge summary he attached as Exhibit A has his signature at the bottom. He submitted the document that proves he was there. My attorney didn’t even write a response. She filed the exhibit back with one sentence pointing at the signature line.
Eleven days later, his lawyer moved to withdraw from the case. The reason she gave was that she had reviewed the medical records and could no longer represent the position stated in the petition. My attorney requested the complete urgent-care file, and it showed exactly what happened: he brought our daughter in, answered the intake questions, spoke with the doctor, received the discharge instructions, and signed that she was released into his care.
At the next hearing, the judge asked my ex why he had identified an incident that occurred while he was the parent responsible for her care as evidence against me. He said he hadn’t noticed his signature on the exhibit. The judge looked at the document again and asked him how he could have signed a discharge summary without knowing he had taken her there. His attorney had already withdrawn. The request for supervised visitation was denied—and the judge ordered the original medical record to remain attached to the case because, in his words, “it answers the allegation by itself.”
