Q: Why can't I see my 26-year-old son if there is no legal reason why I cant
My adult son age 26 has been living with my half-aunt and her live-in man friend due to my husband and being homeless for a year now.

A:
It's understandable that you're concerned about your 26-year-old son and his living situation. In general, adults have the legal right to make their own choices about where they live and who they associate with. If there are no legal restrictions or court orders preventing you from seeing your son, you should have the right to visit or communicate with him.
However, it's also important to respect your son's choices and boundaries. If he is willingly living with your half-aunt and her partner, it may be helpful to try and have an open and honest conversation with him about his feelings and concerns.
If you believe that your son is being manipulated or coerced into avoiding contact with you, it's crucial to gather evidence or information to support your claims. You may want to consult with an attorney who can advise you on how to proceed legally while respecting your son's autonomy.
Consider reaching out to local law enforcement or a legal professional to explore your options further and to ensure that your son's rights and well-being are protected. Remember that maintaining open communication and seeking a peaceful resolution is often the best approach in family matters.
