Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
child custody/visitation
My ex BF (bio dad) was granted custody of my 2 girls about 7 yrs ago when my oldest daughter disclosed (bio dad) as sexual abuser. Bio father has since done everything he can to isolate kids/keep them from me. My oldest is now an adult has been bringing her little sister to visit me & has given her my phone number to talk to me (my youngest has been crying to see me & talk to me). Bio dad is still harassing & stalking me so I have just stayed away out of fear. The court case involves fraud issues & prosecutorial misconduct (father buddy with judge) so he has soul custody. I have nothing. No allegations of abuse have ever come up against myself. It was just the typical game play of old switcheroo when child claimed abuse against him. Again there are no orders restraining me, I just do not have any visitation. my parental rights have not been terminated.my daughter is being told by her school counselor that I could get into a lot of trouble talking to her or seeing her.I understand there is no visiation but still nothing restraining me.so if my older daughter brings her sister to see me cause she asks to see me or she calls to talk to me, can I get in trouble for talking to her or seeing her as the counselor says??

How was the parenting plan/residential schedule entered? Was it after a trial or was it agreed? If it was a trial, and the judge ruled against you, you could appeal (within 30 days of entery of judgment). If 30 days since entry of judgment have run, you will need to consider a petition for modification, if your access was severely restricted there would have to be a basis for that, and you could present evidence that the situation has changed. Until another order is entered the terms of the parenting plan are controlling, and without the exact text, it is difficult to say what you can or can not do. You could
