Q: Can an individual file a lawsuit against the family court if they suspend or take away his right to parent w/o cause?
My ex has friends that work within the family court system.
A: Your lawsuit would be in the form of an appeal of the family court's decision (not against the family court itself). This would enable the appellate court to review any errors in law or abuses of discretion the lower court may have made. If you're convinced there may have been some bias, this could also be included in your appeal. However, all cases are fact sensitive. Thus, the results of your appeal would depend entirely on your specific facts and circumstances. If you would like to discuss this further please contact me.
