A Florida judge denied two motions by Joseph Duggar today, including his attempt to gain unsupervised visitation with his children.
As part of Joseph Duggar’s bond provisions stemming from his arrest for assault earlier this year, he is not allowed to have unsupervised contact with minor children – including the four children he shares with wife Kendra Duggar.
“The continued no contact order prohibiting unsupervised contact with minors under the age of 18 creates difficulties for the family unit as the defendant has been unable to communicate with his own biological children since the first appearance on March 31, 2026,” the motion argued.
Joseph Duggar must also not be within 500 feet of the address of the alleged victim. However, the alleged victim’s family has reportedly moved from the listed address, and Joseph Duggar owns several properties within 500 feet of the address.
“The continued no contact order in its current form causes problems with the defendant’s ability to maintain the properties listed therein,” Joseph’s motion to amend states.
JUDGE DENIES JOSEPH DUGGAR’S MOTION
In a June 16 hearing, the Bay County judge overseeing Joseph Duggar’s case denied both of his motions.
Court documents obtained by Starcasm do not reveal much information beyond the denials. As for being with his children, Joseph must still have supervised visits.
As for the properties owned by Joseph Duggar that are within 500 feet of where the alleged assault victim used to live, the ruling states that Joseph “may have an employee or agent maintain property.”
It may be that Joseph Duggar’s lack of access to one of the properties may soon be in dispute. Ashley’s Reality Roundup reports that Joseph and Kendra Duggar are selling the house that Kendra’s parents used to live in. Paul and Christina Caldwell were evicted shortly after Joseph’s arrest in March.
It is unclear if this property is one of those located close to the victim’s previous address.
