If I was awarded full custody of my son 2 years ago, as well as 100% decision making, can this be reversed without a detrimental change in circumstances?
His mother’s visits were ordered to be supervised at an approved center. She is now trying to stop the supervised visits all together and have them at her home. To my knowledge I thought nothing could be changed unless there was “detrimental change in circumstances” on my part and there are none. The reason for the supervised visits, is due to her striking my child in the face in front of a case worker. What are the chances of having this overturned? Am I wrong in the fact that unless there is new evidence the attorney shouldnt have even filed for a modification?

Given the reasons for the custody award stemming from an act of violence by your son's mother two (2) years ago possibly she has taken the required anger management courses and satisfied them assuming such were mandated warranting the possibility of a change in the present custody arrangement that you have written about.
Given what you have written about you should consult with a family law attorney about the possible motion to modify the current child support order by your son's mother and how to confront it in that she may have changed her ways warranting a change in the status quo.
