My question involves a child custody case from the State of: MD
I am asking this question for my mother. my mother has full, sole legal permanent custody of my 2 cousins. cousin one is ten cousin two is seven. she has had them since cousin one was three and cousin two a few weeks old. long story short, mother of cousins was tragically murdered by husband (never proven though). mother and husband have/had very bad history with drugs police and violence. the DSS knows the husband inmy county very well. however, my mother got a protective order on him. he was calling harrasing her. now he is trying to fight for custody of my cousins. he will NEVER recieve custody, i know that for fact given his history. but visitation is an option and my mom is freaking. is there anything she can do to prevent the judge ordering visitation? their court date is approaching and she is broke so no lawyerhe does have one though...
