Legal Question in Family Law in California

It all depends on the court order and what the judge determined was best for the child. If there is nothing that addresses the issues then you need to talk to your attorney about going back to court (which will lead to mediation, first) and seeking a court order that does address these issues. If you do not have an attorney, then go to family law facilitator's office and ask for some direction. Most of the self help clinics in the courts are very good. I know that Placer County has an excellent self help clinic and they will assist people no matter what county the case is in.

Good luck

Sole physical and legal custody does not allow a parent to deny the other parent visitation. The court would specifically have to prohibit visitation. I would have to review the court's order to give you definitive answer to tell you for sure. If there was an exit order from a Dependency Court, providing no visitation until he or she complied with certain terms, then the answer may be that visitation could be barred.
