Newbury Park, CA asked in Child Custody, Contracts, Immigration Law and Appeals / Appellate Law for California

Q: I found out that my old friends mom is using me as a reason to get custody over her daughter. Is this legal?

She thinks I’m a bad influence because she made assumptions about me. I haven’t hung out with her daughter in over a year or even gone to their house in two. She thinks that her dad will let me hang out with her but her dad and step mom hate me to.

A: How is this an immigration question? It seems like a matter that involves child custody. You may have rights, but may lose them if this is your child.

I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent California domestic relations attorney that handles child custody issues. Good luck!
