I’m in Ohio and all I want is to be a father to our child. I had a bad moment between my spouse and I where I reacted to a situation poorly and committed DV. I have went to court and fought the DV and got it reduced. There was not a CPS case opened. I’ve been in anger management, therapy, DV classes.

I have just started my divorce case and have been operating on temporary orders for two months now. I don’t have to parent at a center. Ive been able to parent without supervision.

I’ve been told by my attorney it’s not going to happen most likely because of the allegations. He suggested a GAL but he said even then, that’s a long shot. Is there anything I can do? My spouse doesn’t want to communicate via our third party about my child’s medical or even general information since she won’t put me on the records. I feel defeated.
