I'm just wondering what happens with visitation when bd lives at least 3 hours away & I am the only caregiver for DD since day 1, and her surroundings up here are farrrrrr better than down there with him. I don't trust him, his family, or his friends. Ita driving me insane to even think a judge will rule in his favor. Oh btw he has no job, no car , and lives with his mother (he's 27).
Wish I knew the answer because my situation is sort of the same. Hopefully they would at least require visitation to be supervised at first so DD could get to know him. How old is she? I've always thought the NCP was responsible for travel if he/she wanted to exercise visitation. The only thing I know for sure, is child support has nothing to do with visitation. Try not to worry too much. He's probably just saying that knowing it's going to upset you. If he doesn't have a job, car, or home, I doubt he has money to file for visitation.
Unless you get sole custody, he will get visitation whether you agree or not.

When we lived in different states we had to do 6 weeks in summer and week at christmss and a week either at thanksgiving or easter.

There's no way to know for certain how a judge will rule if it gets that far. It's definitely best to try and work out visitation between the two of you. Im in OK and here the visitation is decided fairly and when there is distance involved, either the non-custodial pays to pick up the child (my ex had to pay to fly and get motels for the weekend because he chose to live in CO for a short time) or the parents are ordered to half the driving and expense of getting back forth. You need to be prepared, because unless you can prove him unfit and in need of superviaed visits, odds are he will be allowed to take the child to his house during his visits.

We lived 2.5 hours away at one point. Bd was awarded every Sunday for 8 hours to get to know LO.... I had to do all the driving bc he didn't have transportation. Then he got EOWE/H and we split driving (met halfway).

I can't imagine driving to meet halfway at some random spot to trade off DD like she's luggage. And I also can't see me having to drive down there just because he wants to be lazy and can't support himself. This sucks.....
