Chelsea, MA asked in Family Law, Child Custody, Constitutional Law and Domestic Violence for Massachusetts

Q: How would I go about filing a lawsuit for parental alienation against my daughter's father and his wife?

Also, how would I find out if my daughter has a lawyer? Any information you can give is greatly appreciated. What steps should I take? I haven't seen her since February when we had a wonderful relationship. I already proved drug allegations to be false in court. They are making false statements about and to me, as well as my daughter. I need to somehow keep her safe from the abuse and be reunited with me.

A: Is there a Modification petition pending? Has your visitation been limited by any Court Order? If not you may file a Modification Complaint of your own if the circumstances have changed materailly since your prior orders. You could check the docket on line to see whether counsel for the child was appointed by the Court.
