Q: I'm being denied rights to my daughter and recently visitation again for the second time. Last time was 1 year.

We had went to mediation and after we were done she went back in his office. Recently she admitted she did not sign the agreement papers and said I have no right to my daughter. No visitation, no calls or texts. She will not tell me anything.
