A:
I'm sorry to hear you're going through this difficult situation. In California, if your name is brought up in court regarding your ability to be with your grandchild, you have the right to be informed about the proceedings. You should receive proper notice of any hearings or decisions that affect your relationship with your grandchild.
It's important to actively participate in the legal process. This means attending all court hearings and being aware of any filings or motions related to your case. If you haven't been notified, there might be a chance that notices were not properly served, and you may need to take steps to ensure you are included moving forward.
Consider reaching out to a family law attorney who can guide you through the process and help protect your rights. They can provide specific advice tailored to your situation and ensure that you have the opportunity to present your side of the story in court. Taking these steps can help you stay informed and work towards a resolution that maintains your relationship with your grandchild.
