Is it lawful for your mother to keep you from seeing your father?
I want to have a better understanding of my rights because I have run into resistance.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and managed to find a solution?
Your knowledge would be very beneficial.
The ability of a parent to prevent you from seeing the other parent depends on the specific custody arrangements and legal orders in place. If there’s a court order granting your dad visitation rights, your mom can’t legally stop you from seeing him without risking legal consequences. It’s best to check the custody agreement and, if needed, seek legal advice. Others who have faced similar situations might suggest talking to a family lawyer or mediator to help resolve the issue.
While I understand what is happening with the family, it sometimes seems like someone is protecting the child from something or someone, when in reality, they are shielding them from a difficult and potentially harmful situation.
It is not necessary to punish oneself for being “a bad daughter”. You were a young child. Though it’s possible that your mother is right, she shouldn’t have told you that. Restarting your relationship with your dad is a fantastic idea, but don’t hold yourself too high. I don’t want to diminish the man in any way; rather, I’m warning you not to romanticize him because your mother let you down so severely and you feel that you must have a loving parent.
Hello, Maxwell. Grant, Tell her that what she is doing is unlawful and that if she does not cooperate, you will contact CPS or correctional officers.
Whether it’s lawful for your mother to prevent you from seeing your father depends on local laws and any existing custody agreements. Generally, both parents have visitation rights unless a court decides otherwise. If you’re facing resistance, review any legal documents, communicate openly with your mother, consider mediation, and if necessary, seek legal advice to understand and enforce your rights. Document any attempts and obstacles, and look for support from others who have faced similar issues. Consulting a family law attorney in your area is crucial for personalized advice.
For the time being, your mother has the ability to prevent you from visiting your father.
According to your parents, the answer is significantly influenced by the terms of their divorce order regarding visitation and custody. Your mother could be right or incorrect. If she is, your father, not you, may solve the situation.
If the terms of custody decided by a court of law allows her to do that then she has the right to stop you from seeing your old man.
I don’t think she has the right to stop you from seeing him unless they are divorced and the court’s decision allows her to.
