A: Without more details it is difficult to answer your question definitively. Generally, without an order from a court of law, your sister would not have legal standing to prevent you from seeing your child.

There are many moving parts to your case, and it is best to consult an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case. We are glad to assist you. Contact us when you are ready to proceed.

I wish you well.
