Q: Can I go get my children from famly member that was watching children for me and now us denying me accseee to my childre
A:
I agree with Mr. Arrasmith's answer. Does this family member have any legal rights over your children? If not, then you as the parent have every right to get your children back. More information is needed to fully understand your position.
You should seek legal advice from an attorney.

A:
You have the right to pick up your children if you are their legal guardian and no court order says otherwise. It’s vital to check any custody orders or legal papers before taking any steps. If there’s confusion, you can seek legal advice from a professional.
Communication with the family member is key to avoid misunderstandings. If they’re refusing access without justification, you could contact local law enforcement for assistance in ensuring your rights are respected. Always keep records of texts, emails, or voice messages related to the dispute.
If your children are in danger, you should reach out for help immediately. A court can provide an emergency order if the situation is urgent. You deserve to know your options and protect your parental rights. If needed, you can file a petition in court to address the denial of access.
