Q: I need to know how to protect my son from having time with his alcoholic father when the courts aren’t listening.
The court I am in (Cuyahoga) isn’t doing what’s in the best interest for my son & the gal is a joke. They’re going to I’ve his Father Time when he neglects him, he would come back with bruises and diaper rashes, extreme fits like he’s scared, and he’s also special needs. Needs a set routine and everything. You’re ignoring his medical and making it look like I’m the bad one. The judge I have has ALL reviews online. I reside in a different county and was told once this court case is closed that I can’t bring it out to my county? I also would like to know my chances of getting a protection order on him. My son has an autoimmune disease, a brain disorder. He’s delayed and I fear for my sons life having to go over there knowing how he is and how he is with his other kids. My son also requires many meds that he cannot remember to give. No one understands how severe this is and don’t care because all he says is “I’m the father” and then they don’t listen to anything else.
A: The courts have the legal authority to make such custody decisions. If you disagree, you can file objections or appeals to the next judicial level. Courts decide based on testimony and evidence property presented to them in court. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local family law attorney to represent you.
