Legal Question in Family Law in California
Currently, I am in the middle of a divorce. My husband and I have two children, my oldest is 2, while my youngest is less than 3 months old. My husband left our house a month into my pregnancy with our second child. He now resides at his mothers house. We have been married since January 2007. I have obtained restraining orders against him for several pressing reasons such as domestic violence and alcoholic abuse. He has been working for the Los Angeles Fire Department for about 15 years. My husband is allowed two and a half days of visitation with my oldest daughter. However, during his visitations he leaves our daughter in the care of his mother. The court has ruled that he may not leave her during his visitation for more than 3 hours. My lawyer has not been agressive towards this action, and I do not know what to do. How should I proceed?

If you have representation you should speak those concerns with your lawyer and see if you can work out your differences. Oftentimes it is a simple matter of miscommunication. There are a lot of things that happen which sometimes clients are not aware of. If after communicating your concerns you believe they are not being addressed you should seek out new representation. I should warn you that, acting more agressive does not always curry favor with courts or the judges. It may harm your case more than help.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
