More details to this question:
Father has been in and out of jail for the past year for disorderly conduct, domestic violence. Got his rights temporarily suspended. Wants visitations back of the kids. Father is currently on parole. Has past drug problems, along with his current girlfriend. He has been walking in and out of the kids lives since we split 2 years ago. I don't want them getting hurt over and over again due to the father being there and then not being there.

It is rare for the court to completely deny a parent all visitation rights, even when they're a felon. However, you can minimize his time by accumulating as much information about his criminal history as possible and presenting that at the custody proceedings. In cases like this I've had, we've limited the other parent's visitation rights to 3 hours per week, supervised.
