Yeah, judges offering no contact between one parent and a child is very very rare. Usually only in cases of extreme neglect, abuse, or some other extreme circumstances.

At least in Texas, bare minimum parental involvement tends to be every other weekend, including fifth weekend if the month happens to have one, every thursday for a few hours and every other holiday on some sort of a rolling basis, with summer included. For a parent to be given supervised visits, holidays only which isn't even a whole day, it's a few hours on said day only they have to have gotten some really negative attention, somehow. Sometimes at a neutral place or sometimes at the custodial parents house, either one with s court provided observer who documents every interaction.

I have to wonder what this fucking guy did, really. He has to have some truly abhorrent behaviors, or a drug record or violence record or something of gravity to cause this to take place.

My bullshit radar is going off just because Internet, but if this is correct, he has some nasty shit happening.

Judges do really hate when people represent themselves. Might just be out of spite.
