grandparents filing a restraining order against me on no cause and wont allow me to see or be near my kid and have no custady rights when im the father and the miother is willing to let me be their and around my kid
A:
If you do not already have custody orders then you need to file a custody case and seek custody and/or visitation with your child.
If you already have custody orders then you can file to enforce them. You can also call the police for a civil stand by to help facilitate visitation.
If the grandparents, child's mother or anyone obtains a TPO/Restraining Order against you- check the paperwork as many times these order do no include the children and you can still legally see the children.
From a practical standpoint, you can attempt to contact the child's mother
( phone, social media, email ect) and try to arrange visitation/ exchanges at a public place so you can see the child but don't need to have contact with the grandparents.
A: If you have a court ordered custody arrangement and that arrangement is being violated, you may file a motion for contempt in order to ensure your visitation rights are protected. If a formal custody arrangement has not been ordered, you and the child’s mother may informally draft your own arrangement and file it with the court to be put into effect and enforced immediately. If you cannot come to an agreement, then you may file a motion with the court to establish a legally binding custody order to which the children’s mother and grandparents must comply.
