Legal Question in Family Law in California
My mother inlaw was granted temp. custody of my son. she says i cannot see him inless i go to her house. If my mom picks him up for a while, my mother inlaw tells her that i cannot be around. Is there a legal way i can handle this matter? My appointment to see the court investigator is not until Feb. 12th. My next court date on the case is March 12th. what can i do. I refuse to go to my mother inlaws house, due to the fact that she lied about everything in order to get my son. I'm not only protecting her safety by not going over there, but protecting myself from ending up in jail.

When you hire an experienced family law attorney, you can explore options to create a visitation environment that may avoid limiting visitation at her home. Options may include selecting a neutral 3rd party to act as the intermediary where you see your son between now and the hearing date. If your mother in law refuses visitation in this arrangement, you may be justified in filing an ex parte requesting this interim visitation option.
I would agree. And also, you are between a rock and a hard place. You do not want to refuse visits, yet, I understand that you do not want to be set up either. Maybe you can see if you can take someone with you, like your own mother, when you visit the child, such that you have a witness with you. You do not wish to be seen as refusing visits.
Additionally, you will need to respond to the guardianship. I would highly suggest that you find yourself a qualified family law attorney to help you with this. Good luck!
