Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
I am a father fighting for half legal and half physical custody. My child is 6 years old. The mother took the child away and I am now fighting for the right to see my child. The mother wants me completely out of my childs life. Her lawyer recently wrote me a letter with many false accusations. The mother has told her lawyer that I have told my child that her mother does not love her anymore and she loves thier new baby more. there are many other accusations made by the mother in which ALL are untrue. I believe the mother is going to try to convince the courts that I am allienating her so I lose the temporary custody of my child and may gain no more. should I respond to this letter saying I have never said that to my daughter or should I not respond at all? what do I do. help please...

Yes, respond to the lawyer's letter and simply state that you deny the accusations leveled against you.
Custody and parenting time are quite complex not just because the law is complex but because family relationships are complex. It is not clear to me from your question where you are in the legal process. I strongly recommend that you seek experienced legal counsel. As you work through this conflict with the mother of your child I encourage you to remember the following:
� Parental conflict hurts children.
� Children need to remain connected to both parents.
� We can only change ourselves; we cannot change the other parent.
� The right thing for our children often seems unfair to us
