Q: Mother had rights stripped does she have visitation rights or does she have to go to court to get visitation set up.
My boyfriend has custody of his ex's three kids. Only one is his biological the others have different fathers. No visitation was set up by the court that we know of when she got the kids taken from her when deemed unfit. Does she have visitation or does she have to go to court to get visitation rights set up by the court. Asking because we were letting her see the kids till we went to drop them off and she started drama ended up assulting us and threatened to keep the kids and not let us have them back. Ever since. We have not let her see the children until she takes us to court for visitation rights. However if she has rights I don't want my boyfriend to serve jail time for not letting her see them but she is very unstable and a bad role model for the kids we are also afraid of her running off with them making it difficult to get them back. If she were to take us to court we were gonna ask for supervised visitation.
A: The court will specify what visitation she can have. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local family law attorney to discuss the situation and advise you.
