Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
my father pays monthly child support to my ex-stepmother for my two younger brothers. yet she does not allow either of us any type of communication with either of them. the youngest brother does not even know my father. do either of us have any legal rights to have any type of communication or visits with my brothers?

Depending on what the last court order says with regards to parenting time/visitation/custody of your brothers, your father would need to go to the appropriate county family and probate court and file a Complaint for modification to modify the previous court order.
If however, your father already has a court order that states what days and times your father has time with his children and this visitation is being denied by the mother, than your father would file a complaint for contempt.
If your father would like a free consultation, he can contact me at 617-523-3200 or email me to schedule a time convenient for him.
Thank you,
Your father may wish to retain an attorney to consider either a complaint for Modification or Contempt of the current support/visitation order. Good Luck!
