looking for WV visitation info

Im looking for info regaurding overnight visits.
From a few people who myself and my husband have talked to who have dealt with WV custody and visitation, they say that the courts would allow us to have my 3month old step son overnight...he is absolutely wonderful here, enjoys his brother and sister's company, eats, sleeps, and eliminates just fine-does everything a baby needs to do to survive.
Are there any set guidelines that would keep this from happening? or is this something that the judge would ultimately have the say over?
we have not yet gone to court, trying to get the $ to do so..the baby's mom is not wanting to go to court but she is not working with us to set a consistant visitation schedule and does not want to allow overnight visits.
It has been a crazy crazy few months...still trying to get used to having a step son.

Hi Jessica,

Do you have any of your own children. Not to be mean or anything. But I would have a really hard time not having my baby with me at 3 months old. It's great that you and the dad want to have him but if I were the MOM i would fight this. Although, she sounds like she might be okay with it. Is the baby still nursing?

Hi Melanie, thanks for your reply.
I do have my own children...2yo and 8mths with my husband
When i thought that we were going to be divorcing when all this happened with the other woman and dh i was prepared to let him have the kiddos overnight, once my DS would accept a bottle. Anyway, to answer your question, the baby is not nursing. I think we will be able to work it out, but was just curious if there was anything in the law that would go either way.
Thanks:-)

Re: looking for WV visitation info

How long have you been married to have a 4 month old stepson?
I adopted a child at birth and allowed the bio-father's parents to have the pleasure of her company every other week end, immediately after birth. It was so hard. I grieved all week end. I love my daughter (now 4) enough to share her with the whole family. Of course now she doesn't want to be away from Mommy, and I love that even more than sharing her.
However, it takes 9months to have a baby, it's 4 months old. Wow, Normally relationship hopping doesn't last. Good Luck.
Sounds like you need it.

Okay, You just explained that question. I can't understand if you and your husband had separated why he could not keep his pains on until something was definite between the two of you. Or at least use birth control.
Is the baby's mother angry that the two of you got back together? Are you so excited about his child because your wanting to hang on to him. Sounds like you have more serious issues than just spending a night with his child.

Re: looking for WV visitation info

Jessica,
I have had some exsperance with this issue. The courts will grant the father visitation no matter what the age of the child. However, the mom can with hold by her own choice and you will have to take her bad to court. Depending on what county you are in, the police can help. For example: my soon to be ex and I moved to Preston Co. from Mon. Co. when his daughter was 9 years old. Her mother refused to let her father have visitation. When we would go to pick her up - they would be gone. The one time we finelly did get her, she was having a ball. Her mother showed up and demanded that her daughter go back home with her becouse she did not want her around MY boys. I refused to let her take her becouse it was my husbands weekend. Well she call the county police, Preston Co. police told her that we had court papers saying that he was to have her for vistation and they made HER leave and without her daughter!! But then again when we went to get her the next several times they were never home. The only thing Mon,Co. would do is to tell us to take her back to court. SO...it just depends on the county that you live in. Best Of Luck
