Whats going to happen in court when i return?

i went to my child custody hearing it went good me being the father of my daughter and having custody while mother barely got visits after 4 years of no contact do to history of drugs she had filed for full custody and me getting visits every other weekend the judge immediately gave her a response of no and said he will give her monitored visits due to being absent so long and told her that my daughter would be very angry and emotional i was glad the judge did his job and not judge me because im the man and shes the mother but he told us to come back in 3 months to see how it went what will happen and why would he tell us to come back the order was asking change of custody and visits which they gave her visits and request for custody was denied that's all her paper work asked for shouldn't she have to file another order to ask for more things or what will happenWhats going to happen in court when i return?What will happen is the judge will question you, question the child's mother look over the evidence as presented by the person who supervised the visitations with the mother and the judge will make a further determination as to what will be best for the child.Whats going to happen in court when i return?No, if the Judge ordered another hearing, then this was just a Temporary Hearing. He may want to see how the monitored visits are going, and they are going well, then expand them to unmonitored. The court never views custody of a child as a cut and dry matter. Most courts very much want the mother tpo have a healthy relationship with their child. If you have attorneys, you may want to work it out prior to the hearing. Compromise a little, and perhaps the court will agree with those terms.
