Legal Question in Family Law in California
A family member was involved in an accident at work earlier this year. He was in a coma for 6 days and is currently recovering from a severe head injury. His ex-girlfriend applied for a guardian at litem through workmans comp and is refusing to allow him to visit with his family. She is claiming he has been determined by the hospitals to be competent and able to make decisions at this time though he is not being allowed to choose for himself who he can and cannot visit with. She is claiming that he has appointed her power of attorney, conservator over him, and that she has already acquired a marriage license with him. She is refusing to show any of this to the family. Is there any way to legally validate her claims? Or to override her decision to ban his family from seeing him?

The whole thing sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
