Bam Margera Granted Monitored Visitation With His Son After '200 Days' Away From Him

Former "Jacka--" star Bam Margera has received approval for monitored visitation with his son, Phoenix, following his sobriety milestone. Supervised visits, facilitated by a professional, are scheduled for Southern California, where Phoenix lives with Margera's estranged wife, Nicole "Nikki" Boyd.

Despite plans for a Christmas reunion, specific dates are undisclosed. Margera, celebrating 100 days of sobriety, attributes visitation approval to his commitment to recovery, recognized by the overseeing judge.

According to TMZ, Margera, who recently achieved a milestone in his journey to sobriety, has received approval for monitored visitation with his young son, Phoenix, as revealed by David Glass, the attorney representing his estranged wife, Boyd.

Per the outlet, the stuntman's visits will be supervised by a professional when he is in Southern California, where Boyd resides with their child.

Although there are plans for Christmas reunions, specific dates for Margera to see Phoenix have not been communicated to him or his lawyer at this time.

Margera revealed to the outlet that he has been physically separated from his son Phoenix for over "200 days," and he is determined to reunite with him around Christmas, coinciding with Phoenix's birthday.

The "Haggard" actor expressed frustration, stating he had only been allowed FaceTime calls until now.

As reported by The Blast in August, Margera was previously granted the right to FaceTime his son for 20 minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and 30 minutes on Sundays. On the other hand, Boyd was given temporary custody of Phoenix.

He shared that he planned to fly to Los Angeles for an upcoming event and fully intends to spend quality time with Phoenix, bringing along a sack filled with presents, reportedly worth $5,000, that he has been unable to give due to ongoing legal complications.

The confirmation of Margera's visitation rights coincides with his recent achievement of surpassing 100 days of sobriety, marking a significant personal victory.

The skateboarder shared that the judge overseeing his divorce case has been closely monitoring his progress and attributes the granted visitation to his commitment to sobriety.

Following the news of his milestone, Margera received a supportive video from Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg, praising him for reaching 120 days of sobriety.

In the video, Wahlberg praised him, stating: "So happy for you and your sobriety. Wow, 120 days. God bless you, bro, hope you and your family are well and I look forward to connecting with you soon."

The "Ted" actor added, "I've always been such a big fan and I look forward to seeing you, brother."

In response, Margera expressed gratitude on Instagram, acknowledging Wahlberg's encouraging words. He wrote, "Thanks to Mark Wahlberg for the positive words! Who's counting anymore when you're happy."

Margera attributes his newfound sobriety to the positive influences in his life, particularly his girlfriend, Dannii. He shared that alongside his commitment to the gym and his passion for skateboarding, Dannii has played a crucial role in keeping him on a healthier path. Embracing this lifestyle transformation, the TV personality also actively shares videos on his Instagram to showcase his dedication to this positive change.

This significant shift follows a challenging period marked by legal troubles earlier this year. In March, Margera faced a domestic violence charge, arrested for allegedly kicking a woman in Escondido, California. Subsequently, he was ordered to trial in July over accusations of physically assaulting his brother, Jess Margera.

Margera's absence was also evident in the 2022 release of the film "Jacka-- Forever" after he was dismissed from the project, leading to a wrongful termination lawsuit. He eventually dropped the lawsuit in April 2022.

Addressing Margera's exclusion from almost all stunts in the film, Johnny Knoxville expressed his sadness in January 2022, stating, "It's really heartbreaking. I love Bam. We all love Bam. He's our brother, you know? You just hope that he takes it upon himself to get the help that he needs because we all care about him a lot."
