While no papers have been filed, neither parents' rights are greater than the other. She cannot deny you reasonable access, and you cannot deny her. If either parent is found, down the line, to have unreasonably restricted the other parent's access to a child, there can be repercussions in Court. SO, DECISIONS YOU MAKE NOW CAN BE VERY IMPORANT LATER.

Please come in soon. We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
