HOW CAN MY CHILD VISIT HER FATHER IF I HAVE A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HIS MOTHER?

QUESTION: I have a restraining order against my child's paternal grandmother. Is there anything that I should ask the judge for when we go to court for child custody and visitation? This is my first time dealing with family law and he has an attorney so I am a little nervous. =============================================== MY RESPONSE: If I understand your question correctly, you have a restraining order against the father's mother, and you are asking in essence how to address that matter to the Family Law court in your custody and visitation case against the father. You didn't indicate whether or not the child's father lives with his mother. You should bring at least four copies of the Restraining Order against the mother to the hearing - one for you, one for the other side, one for the Judge, and one for the court reporter. When the Court calls the case for hearing, advise the Judge of the Restraining Order, and ask the Court for orders that take that Restraining Order into consideration. You would best retain (if not consult with) an experienced Family Law Attorney as soon as possible, to discuss, strategize, and prepare testimony in question and answer sessions, and to come up with specific requests to address to the Court regarding protection of you and your child in connection with the Restraining Order against the mother. =============================================== This educational blog is brought to you by DONALD F.
