What are your options if the other parent won’t let you see your child and how long will the process take?

If the child is in danger, there are options to get in front of a judge quickly to determine if you have the right to custody of the child. 

If the child is not in danger, but the other parent is violating a court order to deprive you of your time with the child, they may be in contempt.  We can file with the court and get a hearing in a few weeks.  The court does require us to mediate first to see if we can work things out. 

If there is no court order, we can file a Petition and request a temporary hearing.   That can result in a custody and visitation arrangement in 3-4 weeks.  This will also require mediation. 

We can talk through your options depending on the facts of your situation.  Call us at 515-809-9699.
