A: You can file for a restraining order if you have a factual and legal basis to do so. When a parent is granted sole physical/ legal custody, that is not the same as terminating the other parent's parental rights. You can also sue for defamation, if applicable. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
