Halsted v. Sallee

Donald and Sandra Sallee were divorced on February 6, 1973. Custody of the two minor children was awarded to the mother. She has since remarried and her name is now Halsted. On June 14, 1979, she filed a petition for modification of visitation rights, asking that visitation be restricted to supervised telephone calls once per week and "such other and additional supervised visitation as should seem reasonable to petitioner herein." This was based on her affidavit which stated, among other things, that Mr. Sallee had suffered mental illness, and had had a confrontation with local police. After an order to show cause was issued, an additional motion to modify was filed on July 12, 1979. This asked that the modification "should restrict all visitation and contact between respondent and the minor children pending the out come [ sic ] of Mental Health report ordered on said date by the court."
