Q: My childs mother filed for sole custody (with several false accusations) without my knowledge
and has been granted sole custody of my child (leaving me with only supervised visitation) while he is still in my care and has been for the passed year. He is 3 years old. The police went to our old house with a search warrant looking for my child. I just found out about this case yesterday and it has been going on for six months now. She gave the courts a number that she knew wasn't mine purposefully so that my court-appointed attorney would not be able to reach me. The case has ended on 12/04/2020 and the judge has already made his decision. What do I do? I don't want to lose my son, I cannot live without my son.
A: You dont have a court appointed lawyer. You have a curator. Yiu need to hire a custody lawyer immediately.
