If the judge does award the other parent visitation, you can
request that the judge order the child be dropped off and picked up in a
particular safe place, such as a police department.*
If you are concerned about your or your child’s
safety and want to keep your address and phone number confidential during court
proceedings, you have the right to file an affidavit or include this request in
your court papers. You would have to
explain why the health, safety or liberty of you or child would be jeopardized
if specific identifying information is not kept confidential. The judge can hold a hearing about this issue
and if the judge agrees, that information will be sealed and may not be given
to the other party or the public.** You
may want to contact an attorney to discuss this further or ask the court staff
how you can file an affidavit to make this request.
