What are my rights for me to see my son while my ex girlfriend goes through the court system to set
it all up "legally?"

Additional Details:
My ex girlfriend and I split up and she will not let me have any visitation with my son. She will
not return any of my phone calls. She said no one is seeing him until she goes through the court
system. I understand that this is a very long process and I want to see my son while this is
happening. What can I do to make this happen??

1st Answer

Contact an attorney and ask for assistance in filing a motion for immediate parenting time and perhaps even for custody. You need to find out what your legal rights are at once. Good luck to you.

You will need to seek court assistance by either filing a complaint for custody yourself or by filing a motion if your ex girlfriend has already filed the complaint. Either way you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible in order to secure your rights to your son and start seeing him on a regular basis. This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No attorney client relationship is formed by it. Good luck.
