Jersey Shore’s Ronnie Ortiz-Margo may get monitored visits with daughter – if he completes DV classes
JERSEY Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro could be permitted to have monitored visitations with his 22-month-old daughter Ariana Sky.
The 34-year-old reality television star is currently prevented from seeing the tot, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jenn Harley, after he was accused of assaulting Harley.
However, Harley says that if her ex keeps up domestic violence classes, then she hopes to he can have supervised visits with his daughter after four months apart.
Jenn's lawyer, Lisa Bloom, exclusively told The Sun: "Ronnie's lawyer said in open court today that he is going to domestic violence/ batterer classes now.
"We are hoping that he takes those classes seriously and eventually gets to the point where MONITORED visitation with his child is safe."
The 34-year-old reality star did not attend a hearing in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, in relation to the on-going domestic violence case against him, but Harley did.
She dressed sharply in black trousers with her matching blouse tucked in - and a red blazer.
After asking for more time while Ronnie attends domestic violence counselling in Nevada, the judge agreed to continue the hearing on March 13, and ordered Ortiz-Magro to stop contacting Harley.
Bloom confirmed to the Sun that Ortiz-Magro is not allowed to spend time with his daughter at present.
"Because he is not permitted any time with his daughter right now, due to the alleged acts of domestic violence, they are not navigating co-parenting right now," she told us.
Bloom further revealed to The Sun exclusively that Harley is seeking a guilty plea from her ex over the domestic violence claims.
She told us: "Jenn appeared with me this morning, driving four hours to get to court, because she is strong, and ready, willing and able to testify as to the truth of what happened."
She continued: "We will return for the next pretrial conference on March 13. If the case is not resolved by then, the trial will be on a date shortly thereafter.
"The only acceptable resolution to us is a guilty or no contest plea by Ronnie, continuation of his domestic violence classes, restitution to Jenn, and court orders requiring that he not disturb Jenn's peace."
