    Where to go from here.
    My boyfriend returned to court yesterday on grounds of visitation with his son. There was a court order that was issued for him to have visitations with his son on Sundays. The child's mother refused to hand the child over once he arrived to pick him up. So yesterday the judge has it turned over to a mediator and now he will be able to see him for 3 hrs on Sunday with the family services person with him. It seems like there is always a road block. Do you think things will work if we get an attorney involved as this has been going on in court for almost a year and one year he has been trying to see him outside of court and the mother is refusing. Please help us Thank you

    Why haven't you been using an attorney up to now? An attorney would help you navigate through the legal system and get what you are entitiled to.

    We financally couldn't afford one and things were going okay and now she is just very unstabile and brainwashing the child telling him all negative things so the child will not go
    With his father.

    You can't afford NOT to have an attorney. That's probably why you haven't been able to get what the court has ordered. So you use the supervised visits to show both the child and the courts that mom has been lying about him.

    THat is what we will do. Even though it will be expensive it will be worth it in the long run.

    Shop around. You may find a lawyer who will work on a sliding scale relative to your income, or allow for an extended payment plan.
