I would suggest you get a different lawyer or ask the one you have if he has ever heard of the Violence against womens act VAWA. With the history you have stated, any good judge will order supervised visitation with very limited visits until he proves to the court he is going to behave himself, be sure you point out to the court his past behavior and the injuries to your child and his history of all types of abuse and any threats he has made against you and or the children. I would insist on a psychological evaluation for him and drug testing with a hair folicle test for drug history prior to any hearing for visitation. Your attorney should be able to file a motion for a delay in the visitation hearing until these tests are completed and available for the visitation. hearing.
