What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My father is 100% disabled and lives in Florida with his 2d wife. I live in North Carolina and have been able to call or visit him at will. This has suddenly ceased. His wife refuses to let me know when he is in the hospital. She is refusing to take my phone calls. She controls the phone by not placing a phone next to my father's bed. All I want to do is to be able to speak to my dad when I want to or to see him whenever I can get down there. His name is on the lease, phone, and all bank accounts. He has a large sum of money coming in monthly from various sources. She has only social security. I am not sure if they are still residents of SC, but he is unable to travel. If he was aware that she was denying me access to him, my father would have a fit. What recourse do I have to force this issue with her. She controls everything to do with him. She will say it's because he has Alzheimer's, which he does, but he is still aware of what is going on around him and who people are. What can I do to force her to let me talk to my father?
