Child Visitation? Where to start
Hello I am located in California. I am asking for help on behalf of my brother. Him and his Partner separated awhile back and she moved away with their son. He doesn’t have an official plan with her on how to visit him or how to financially support them. He’s unemployed and usually when he does come up with some money she allows him to see him as long as she receives some money which i think it’s fair. My issue with this is that there’s no official record of this happening. He’s a Traumatic Brain Injury victim and while he’s very capable and without talking negatively on the other individual i feel like he is being taking advantage emotionally through the use of my nephew. Because of his accident, he doesn’t feel secure in contacting a social worker. I have suggested it many times but I myself don’t know much. I was wondering if despite his employment statues and health if he were to reach out for help is there any hope for him and his family to have visitation granted? Eveytime i suggest it he lists down reasons why it’ll be worse for him because of his conditions. He believes it’ll actually grant no visitation at all but im not sure if that’s how it works. We don’t know anything and this lack of knowledge is taking time away from him and involvement in his son’s life and development. Can someone explain to us what a typical scenario plays out when a social worker gets involve in separated family. I don’t even know how to word this post. we just need guidance. thank you so much.
