The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear enough and/or complete enough to provide a definitive answer to you inquiry; however, I would say that you should contact an experienced Family Law attorney in the county where the divorce is taking place for specific advise and possible representation on your behalf. Many attorneys give a free consultation.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

Re: Divorce Questions

Normally you will find out his request when and if he files a response. You cannot be granted a permanent restraining order until the next hearing (if then), since he is entitled to have his side heard on the matter. As far as grandparents and visitation rights, usually they do not, but I can't answer that unless I know all of the facts. I would like to caution you, however, that if your child has a good relationship with the grandparents, you may want to allow them to visit. It can be on your terms (you are present, etc.). Having a parent removed from a child's life is traumatic enough, even if it is best for the child. Your child still loves his or her father, even if you don't. You should consult an attorney. Child custody issues are too important to deal with on your own.
