received this order from the judge in the mail. He set a hearing for dissolution with child and I don't know what that means. I am also attempting to stop my ex from seeing my son anymore.
We are scheduled to go to family court for many issues in august. I was under the impression that the visitation and custody issues would be decided then. Is it unusual to hold a second hearing, with the same judge, and call it a dissolution with child?
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.
Thank you.

I do have an attorney and she is excellent. I received the order in the mail yesterday and she is not available this weekend to answer my question. I am very nervous about this and would like to know something asap, so I don't worry all weekend.

We were divorced in 2003 and the final J and D came in in 2003. This is a whole new hearing to deal with many issues which have come up over the last 3 1/2 years.

Also, the judge has requested to see my sons at the second hearing, which I am under the impression, is very unusual.
The first hearing in August was supposed to have adressed custody, visitation, child support, etc.
Do you think it is unusual that the judge would order this 2nd hearing when we are already divorced and have a hearing set up for all the custody issues?

Dissolution means a divorce.Divorced w/ a child. Odd that the judge uses that term.
A decree of dissolution restores the parties to the status of unmarried persons,and may become effective immediately unless specifically stated otherwise in the decree. This is a change from the old law. Make sure you read your decree to be sure of the effective date.
The decree of dissolution also sets forth the amount of child support that needs to be paid, the property division, who gets custody and other important decisions relating to the termination of the marriage.

Ok, first things first, you need to talk to an attorney. Each state has different laws regarding the disposition of children in a divorce. Some do not decide custody at the dissolution hearing, others do. If you are hoping to get sole custody right off the bat, don't. That rarely happens unless you have a MOUNTAIN of evidence that is unbiased and not yours, or the other party is in prision or some such.
Be respectful and calm. Ask for a Gaurdian Ad Litem if they have then in your area. These are court appointed neutral observers who are only interested in what is best for the child. This will afford you some peace of mind.
Under no circumstances sign ANY agreement without a lawyers advice. There is no nastier form of child abuse that litigation over child custody. So don't let yourself get outplayed.

You failed to say why you want sole custody and no visitation in the question. They rarely grant this. And if they do, he is probably in jail for molesting the child and cannot visit anyway.
They do not make decisions like this in a snap. You are asking that a parent not be able to see a child ever again. If they were to decide that, I would expect him to challenge it if he really loves the kid and you can expect to be in court many, many more times. If they do decide your way, they will review it often.
And unless the guy is a child abuser, you son will probably grow up to see you as a mean, vengeful woman.
You better have a good reason for even asking, or he may turn it around on you and get legal custody because of the way you are acting now.

It all depends on what state you live in. And what condition you and the child is in.
"No fault" dissolution means that the judge generally will no longer permit or require evidence of specific acts of misconduct or fault in granting a dissolution of marriage, except where child custody is an issue, and then the misconduct must relate to the care and custody of the child

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that this is part of the custody hearing. The Dissolution part means to dissolve, with child simply means there is a child involved. The judge may want to see your son to confirm/deny the allegations you have against your ex to keep him from seeing the boy. Or, depending on your son's age, he may ask the boy who he wants to live with. I think in most states, children can make that choice at the age of 13. OR your husband may also be attempting sole custody with no visitation. My last husband was a drunk who frequently took our son and his son with him, either driving drunk himself, or allowing his son (then 10) to drive him around with my son (then 3 months to 9 months) in the car. I couldn't get the courts to allow me no visitation rights, even after my son came home with burns on the bottoms of his feet, bruises on the side of his head and ear and a diaper rash so bad that my baby screamed in pain every time he wet. Good luck to you!

Dissoluton with child means that you're marriage is being dissolved and there is a child in the pic.
I agree with stealth monkey, get legal aid.

Get a lawyer. Do not play with your child's future.
