Family issue...please help..

Question

So the background story is, I'm 19 years old and my dad won't let me talk to my own family, including my two younger brothers (7 and 12, respectively). He said he doesn't want me visiting them or even contacting them. He said that as long as I'm with my boyfriend, I am not allowed to communicate with them. There is ABSOLUTELY no way that I am going to leave him, since I've been with him for 3 years. I love my brothers and they said they miss me too.

1. Is there anything that I can do about this matter so that I can visit/see my brothers again?

2. What would happen if I took this matter to family court?

3. Will I be able to gain my rights to visit my own family?

Advice answering my 3 questions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You have a RIGHT  to see your family, however.... It's something you are not telling about your boyfriend!!!! MORE DETAILS FOR A BETTER ANSWER.

Answer 2

keep it simple. take it to court without telling him and stick to it.  then it will be mandated and he must obey the court order. the courts should have no reason to deny you this desire of yours. you need to feel good about the decision you've made. Perhaps he'll respect you later for this."whatever is not done in faith is sin". if your doing nothing wrong then there's nothing to worry about. i wish you well.

Answer 3

You haven't given enough information.  What is it about your boyfriend that your father doesn't like?  It must be something pretty serious if he's banning you from seeing them.  If you took the matter to family court, nothing would come of it.  You don't have any parental custody to your siblings...therefore, you have no rights.  As for anything that you can do to see your siblings...drop the boyfriend!  Your question would be alot easier to answer though, if we knew the reason your Dad is so against the BF.

Answer 4

At 19 your dad can't forbid you anything except access to him, his property and any *minor children in his custody*.  I hate to say it but, yes, he legally has that right and he doesn't need any reason at all for doing this.  About all you can do is let your brothers know that you are waiting for them to turn 18 so that their father can't stop them from seeing you.

However, if there is any chance that your dad is abusing the boys then you need to take your allegations of abuse to court and help them out.  That might get them moved out into a situation where your dad doesn't have custody in which case you could ask whoever does end up with them for permission to see them.

Answer 5

hmm. thats sticky. first of all i have to say im sorry for your situation. but there is no way your father can actually restrict you. i mean if you go and see them, what can he do? that may sound a little risky but i dont think he'll harm you in any way. it's not like your sibilings have a restraining order against u, so by all means, go see them. now to deal the the fact with your boyfriend and father. im guessing this has been going on for a while. next time you talk to your dad or see him, tell him in a stern way, that you can see who ever you want given your age, and that you're in individual, and that what he is doing is completly in the wrong to be restricting you from you siblings, and last but not least ask him WHY it's your siblings you cant see.

Answer 6

i think its something about your boyfriend that your dad doesn't like
