Q: Hey there! I have a few Q& A's so let's start with this one. How long have to file charges for domestic violence?
I left Lucas's dad in july after a bad injury frm kevin in May 2019. I have no money for an attorney. He didn't allow me to work. And has legal documents& wont give them to me.I I gave him phys. Cust. Bc I don't have a set place to live he pushed for supervised visits by himself w/o a 3rd partyou great! I saw my son every day after court til 5 weeks ago. If I didn't agree to hang out w/ him, I wasn't able to see Lucas. He is refusing to talk to me. Some of the time, he lets me see my son through video chats when he allows. I video chat with my son for 5-10 mins at a time. My son will tell me momma hang up. Or I'm done talking to you momma. Or he'll just walk away from the phone. His dad's a textbook abuser. I have a feeling that he's hurting my son only bc I haven't seen Lucas in person. I see Lucas from the neck up on video chat. His father claims he has a gf who is around Lucas . But my boyfriend has not and will not meet Lucas, Kevin claims. What do I need to do to sort this out?
A:
Without more details, it is difficult to answer your question definitively. Generally, you will want to file for visitation through the courts; this will guarantee you time with your son on a regular basis. It is really best to contact an attorney as soon as possible, especially since you suspect your son may be being abused. I understand your financial limitation, however there may be other options available to you. We are glad to assist you. Contact us today.
I wish you well.
