Legal Question in Family Law in California
The father of my 13 year old daughter has remarried, and his wife thinks she has total control of what our daughter does, and when she does it. My daughter will not do certain things because she says her dads wife will get mad or she will get in trouble, even if I tell her it is all right she still won't do it. I keep telling her that I am her mother and if I say it's o.k. then it's o.k.. But she still won't do it. Her dad's wife tries to control everything. What can I do to stop this behavior? I call there and ask to talk to her dad or my daughter, and she butts in and doesn't let me talk to either one of them. She threaqten to call the police on me if I didn't have my daughter at her dad's house by eight o'clock pm. Her dad doesn't have a problem ever about the situation. He was out of town for a month and she thinks she has all the control. What can I do to stop this, it's been going on far to long? I have been nice and patient about this hole thing, and I am getting tired of her telling me how to raise my daughter. Please help?
