He had restraining orders against his ex wife and her family bc she chose her man over her son and she lives with her family who lets their son live with them even tho he threatened them more than once and he touched my brother son and her got a judge to drop the restraining orders
A: If there is not currently a custody order he needs to hire an attorney to help him file a Petition for custody. The court will then establish custody, visitation, and child support.
A: Along the lines of Pete's answer...it is unclear what court orders if any exist. Also, the age the the child may have some effect on things. If the child can communicate and confirm any of the things you have mentioned, then a gradian ad litem would be helpful to make the court aware of what is going on and what might be in the child's best interest.
