[3] Can a father be denied visitation rights?

The Supreme Court in its Silva ruling stated that


Suzanne’s fears and apprehensions were unfounded as to the father’s corrupting influence over the
children. If it is proven therefore that indeed the father is a negative influence (because of reasons
like immorality, drunkenness, etc) on the children, the trial court, taking into consideration the best
interest of the children, can deny his petition for the exrcise of his visitation rights.
