What is the name of your state?CA
I am a mother being sued by my parents for custody of my son. I had a hearing on December 13th, at which I got a continuance to seek counsel. The next hearing is on the 21st of January.
My mother states she is seeking custody specifically because she wants to put my son in "therapy". She put both my brothers in therapy at about the same age, & had them medicated. She already bullied me into taking my boy to a psychiatrist once, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with him.
She got an ex parte order granting temporary custody in November. Since then I have had two 1-hour supervised visits with my boy. She refused to let me speak to him on Thanksgiving, citing her attornies' advice. She has a team of 3 lawyers. I can't find any legal help at all. They didn't properly serve me until the last hearing itself; at that time, they gave me a copy of the petition which referred to 26 pages of attachments. I received only 9 pages. Among the missing pages are the confidential guardianship declaration, wherein they make specific allegations regarding the detriment of parental custody. I know that this is so because they refer to these allegations elsewhere in the petition.
How do I get the documents left out? Surely I have a right to know the accusations being made? I am told I should have received a Responsive Declaration. Is this true?
