That depends...On first blush one would say no, but circumstances really dicatate what a court would decide. The court might order supervised time sharing.
However, if this is distant in time and the father has been rehabilitated, then he may be able to assert some rights for timesharing. Again, I would think that the court would be inclined to make the time supervised, especially if the child is young.
The underlying thought process of the family system is to try and reunify parents and children, but that depends on circumstances, because the first responsibility of the court system is to try and keep children safe.
Keep this in mind when you present anything to the court should the father try to obtain such tiimesharing rights.
Good luck,
