California Custody Dispute Guidance
Summary
In California, custody disputes focus on the childs best interest. Violating a custody order can weaken a parents case for full custody. Judges consider factors like stability, safety, and the parents ability to meet the childs needs. Evidence such as communication records, witness statements, and therapist reports can support your case. Documenting negative influence and seeking professional evaluations are crucial. If a judge denies an ex parte motion, it suggests insufficient evidence for an emergency change, but the final decision will consider all evidence. Prepare thoroughly for court and consult with your lawyer for specific guidance.Full Conversation
I have a lawyer to appear at the hearing with me. But she doesn’t seem to think the judge will do anything about his violating the court order.
It sounds like a challenging situation. In California, judges focus on the child's best interest. Violating a custody order can lead to consequences, but it depends on the specifics of the case. Have you gathered evidence of the violations, such as communication records or witness statements, to present at the hearing?
No I haven’t. They haven’t asked for any of that.
It's good to hear you have legal representation. It might be helpful to discuss with your lawyer the potential benefit of gathering evidence, such as communication records or witness statements. This can support your case, especially when addressing violations of the custody order. Have you considered discussing a strategy with your lawyer before the hearing?
Okay thank you, I will bring it up again.

My son has never been afraid of me. A couple of months prior to June 26th, my son has been pushing boundaries and not listening or being respectful when he is with me. I started giving consequences when he acted this way. He did t like that. I’ve never had anything like this in all of the 13 years he’s been alive. Dad in the other hand has videoed me whenever I see them. My son would always tell me I am the safe parent to him. But now that dad has kept him from me, and convinced him that my getting upset with him is considered “abuse. And neglect” by ooor kid is acting cruel and mean. He wants to see me for dinner today, but only if dad is present. I do t feel comfortable doing that. Dad is very intrusive and usually is recording me. I don’t know what to do.

Ok thank you. I have another question; how likely is a ca family law judge going to give full custody to the parent violating the order, coupled with a 13 year old who doesn’t want to upset his dad?
Case Rating: *
In California, family law judges prioritize the child's best interests. A parent violating a court order typically weakens their case for full custody. However, a child's preference, especially at age *, can influence the court's decision, but it won't be the sole factor. Judges consider a combination of factors, including stability, the child's safety, and the parent's ability to meet the child's needs.

Ok, based on the judges denial of the exparte motions, does that indicate what the judge will do?
Case Rating: *
While the judge's denial of ex parte motions may suggest that the evidence presented was insufficient to warrant an emergency change in custody, it doesn't necessarily predict the final outcome. Judges consider all evidence and factors presented at the hearing before making a decision. Would you like more information on preparing for the upcoming hearing?

It's important to have credible evidence and witnesses. Have you considered reaching out to a family therapist or counselor to mediate the situation with your son?

If the judge rules ti strip me of my parental right, can I then go and file co trot if court papers with the Kurt and have him arrested
Case Rating: *
If a judge rules to terminate your parental rights, it typically means the court has found sufficient grounds to do so, and it's a serious decision. Filing for contempt of court papers and seeking arrest is generally not applicable in this context. Instead, you might consider consulting with your lawyer to explore any possible appeals or alternative legal actions to protect your rights and relationship with your child.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know!

Do you have any data in averages when one party is dried by the judge an exparte, which way they go at the hearing? In terms is granting a motion to obtain full custody?

Typically, if an ex parte motion is denied, it suggests insufficient immediate evidence for an emergency custody change. However, the final hearing considers all evidence presented, and the judge will prioritize the child's best interest.
