A:
Greetings:
As a parent you can request documents and credentials of your dependents. If they're of legal age they can request the documents themselves. If the mother prevents you from exercising your parental rights, you can file in court to validate those rights and have visitation rights as well. No, a mother cannot alienate another parent unless there are some exceptional circumstances and situations that will endanger the well-being of the minors or in circumstances that they may be at risk. You may need to hire an attorney for this matter. The information you're providing is limited. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us directly, we'll be glad to be at your service.
