Legal Question in Family Law in California
An ExParte application was filed in California this morning and I was given 24hours notice. I live in Texas and was not allowed to participate in the proceedings via telephone nor was I allowed to have time to defend myself or to have time to hire a lawyer to defend myself. I have an order in Nevada that allows visitation unsupervised. As a result of this morning's hearing the judge granted supervised visits which I have never had. How can this happen and how can it be reversed?

The court that has physical jurisdiction over the child can change visitation and custody based on new circumstances. You can hire an attorney in California to represent you. He can petition the court for reconsideration based on whatever evidence you have that would undermine the court's order.
