Laws are different everywhere but where I live I would ask for no overnights and supervised visitation due to alcoholism, abuse concerns, documentation of current sporadic visitation/responsibility, and reports from therapists etc. I'd add on the breathalyzer at pickup and return (if the supervision is done by some random 3rd party and not a visitation center) because even with supervised visitation he should be sober.

I would make/request that be the permanent plan without any stipulation regarding months of proper behavior. If he wants to change it down the line place the burden on him to start that process and pony up evidence that circumstances have some how changed - not that he just towed the line for 6mos.

I hope you can find a better lawyer.
