Re: realationships around child

If your aunt has custody of the child, then she is in the driver's seat to address those issues. Now, if you have visitation rights, then she cannot unreasonably interfere with those rights. Some judges are more liberal and others conservative, so it's hard to predict how the Court would address this issue without knowing much more information from you.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
