What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
So here it goes, my daughter who is 3 now, is living primarily with her father. He recently has been granted temporary placement and meanwhile, his current girlfriend has been calling all of the shots. I have been denied visits for almost 2 months even though there is a court order. I have an attorney in which we are in the process of modifying the order and also placing the father in contempt, but the girlfriend thinks that its ok for her to incourage my daughter to call her "mommy" and to call all the shots when it comes to her care and our visitation. The father is aware of what is going on and continues to incourage his girlfriend in the process. I need to know what type of legal actions can be done about this since my attorney is busy trying to build up a case for modification. I know that even as a step parent she would have no legal rights, but with her just being the "girlfriend" there has to be something out there that can stop her from her doings. Any advise would be greatly taken into consideration!!
