What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? UTAH
Hmm.. here are the basics.
The mother and step-father (brand new husband) filed an EX PARTE CHILD PROTECTIVE ORDER against me saying that I sexually abused my 3yo daughter.
I have lots of reason to believe that she and her husband have clear motive to terminate my rights (unduly) so that he can legally adopt her:
1. the child tells me her mommy and daddy do not like me (prior to alleged incident)
2. the will not tell the child that I am also the chid's father.
3. they would not allow me to come to birthday parties and other social events that occur during my visitation period (prior to alleged incident)
4. they instructed me to stay off their property when I came for visitation (prior to alleged incident).
5. they are very recently married (October)
After they filed the protective order their lawyer also told me they plan on filing petition to terminate my parental rights.
My evidentiary hearing is in about 33 days. Do I have any opportunity to request discovery in a case like this?
