Legal Question in Family Law in California

My boyfriend's mother is not letting me see my son.

I have recently left my boyfriend. I have two children from this relationship and when I left the police were there to escort me out. I was told by one of the policeman that I was only able to take my of my children so I did. After I left I made arrangements from time to time to see my son. I was very hard for me to see my son because my boyfriends mother does not like me and everytime I would go to pick up my son my ex-boyfriends mother would tell me that my son does not want to go with me and to not take him. My ex-boyfriends mother is poisoning my sons minds. She is making my son turn against me. She is putting ideas in his mind that I am a bad mother because I called the police when her son was choking me, trying to hurt me. My ex-boyfriend has been arrested for drunk driving and domestic violence. I would like to know if the court would consider any of this when considering who is to be the custodial parent.

Yes, the court would consider all of these things. Please see a lawyer before too much time goes on. It will be easier to re-establish visitation or get custody of your son if not too much time passes. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, your local bar association has low and no-cost referral sources. In LA, the bar association phone number is (213) 627-2727. Good luck!
