My ex-husband has visitation with my two-month-old baby one night each week. He lives in a studio and doesn have any baby accessories. Do I have to let him take my baby overnight?
Because a judge has already ordered overnight visitation, you should comply. You can, of course, send the baby with diapers, formula, changes of clothes and so forth. But you should also firmly suggest to your ex that he purchase what the baby needs. Of course, unless the court order says he must have specific items prior to taking the child overnight, he’s not required by law to get them. You can, however, request that the court modify the existing order to include the purchase of these items. As long as you are reasonable, a judge will most likely insist that the father buy a crib, diapers, bottles, formula and other such necessary items.
