According to TMZ, Bam Margera has regained the right to visit his son, Phoenix.
Following years of problems with illegal substances, Bam has also recently celebrated over 100 days sober.
Due to these problems, Bam lost full-time custody and the ability to see his son when he and his wife, Nicole Boyd, broke up.
After reaching 100 days and remaining committed to his recovery, the judge presiding over the case determined Bam was in a good state to spend time with his son again.

One condition for his visitation is that a professional supervisor needs to be present when Bam is visiting. Bam must also inform Niki when he intends to visit so that they can schedule a supervisor.
The visitation rights have excited Bam since he’s only been able to speak with Phoenix over the phone. The first time he plans on seeing his son is during Christmas. When speaking to TMZ, Bam admitted to spending over $5,000 on Christmas gifts for his son. He’s just waiting for the day when he can deliver them.
Bam Says a Few People Have Helped Him Stay Sober
He also revealed that he hadn’t been able to be in the presence of his son for over 200 days. Reaching 100 days sober hasn’t been easy for Bam, but he gives credit to a few different people. The first is his new girlfriend, Dannii. Besides her emotional support, she’s also kept him on the straight and narrow by having him work out with her. The two use a gym with a special connection to Mark Wahlberg. The owner of the gym, Jarred Taylor, once worked with Mark on the film Lone Survivor.
Bam used to see Mark at award shows and other red carpet events. Hearing that Mark was also staying sober for health reasons, Bam reached out to offer some support. Mark returned a video message congratulating Bam on his milestone and encouraging him to stick with it. The support meant much to Bam to the point where he credits Mark as a driving force behind his recovery. Mark also suggested that the two men meet and catch up in Las Vegas. Bam told TMZ that he’d definitely take up Mark on his offer.
Bam Has Also Started Skating Again
Besides hitting the gym, Bam also credits his recovery to returning to skating. As a famous skateboarder, Bam often hung around Tony Hawk and other athletes. He even got his own show, Viva La Bam, which focused on pranks and dangerous challenges.
However, for a while, his problems conflicted with his ability to skate. He also suffered from bone spurs, which made it painful to skate like he used to. Having healed up, Bam has started to skate again. Taking part in an activity that brings him joy has helped him focus on the sober path before him.
The third force he gives credit to is his clothing company. Bam has a clothing brand that focuses on t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel. He makes the artwork himself. By focusing on his art for the clothing, Bam has kept himself occupied and focused.
Between the support from fellow celebrities, his girlfriend, and now being able to see his son, Bam has come a long way from his past troubles.
