Carlsbad, CA asked in Family Law and Child Custody for California

Q: My ex-husband has not allowed me to see my son per our current parenting order for over a year. What do I do?

My son has also expressed to me that he wants to come and live with me. I was able to talk to him thru social media until his dad found out that we were talking and he was punished for it. They removed all his devices from him.

A: Why have you waited a year?! You should have been in court the first time he didn't follow the orders. The longer you wait the less the court is going to think you really are concerned about seeing your son. You need to file for emergency orders to kick start the contact with him immediately. Please hire yourself an attorney right away and follow his advice. It should be a local attorney that practices in the court where your custody orders are in effect. Do not wait any longer.
