Q: Please tell me if I am still entitled to visitation after losing permanent custody of my child?
Permanent custody of my daughter was awarded to her father's brother 9/15/20. I am being denied visitation with my child. As her mother am I not entitled to visitation?
A: You may be entitled to visitation depending on the reason for losing custody. You will want to start with reading the judgment giving your brother in law custody to see if it gives you visitation, if not you may need to ask an attorney for help seeking visitation.
