Can your sons father keep him from you if you have never been to court to determine custody?
Baby32007
No. Not unless there is a court order to that effect. The custody order should include a visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent unless she has been deemed unfit and for some reasons the court denied visitation. She should return to that court and take the appropriate action by requesting a visitation schedule is there is none. A custodial parent who withholds visits without the authority to do so can lose custody of the child.
