#P7770
Guardianship of Delucia-Money
Motion for Modification of Visitation filed by Mother: Denied – (1)
There is no showing of benefit to the child from
expanding the visitation time, nor does a review of the filed documents lead
the court to see any potential benefit to the child’s interests therefrom. (2) Transporting a three-year old to prison is
of doubtful benefit, but in this case it is contrary to the minor’s interest
due to the past trauma he experienced in being taken for visits to the county
jail.
