    Default Visitation Rights After Granting Custody to a Third Party

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Tennessee
    I actually need help with 2 questions.

    1. My son's mother had my son and her daughter from a dif marriage taken from the home in 2007. On Dec 10 2007 we attended court hearing to establish temp custody, now at the time I was out of town alot as I was driving big truck, so my brother filed for temp custody on my behalf. The Judge asked me if i understood that I would be paying child support to my brother and I would have my regular visitation with my son. My son's aunt (Mother's sister) got temp custody, and I still had my visitation, fast forward to now, I might get to see my son once a moth, talk to him in a text or an occasional phone call. My ex claims that i asked the judge at the a previous mentioned court case to surrender my parental rights and allow my brother to have custody. I did no such thing but my question is, shouldnt this have been noted in the court papers?

    2. She also claims that my visitation had been annulled on this date but I have the papers stating that I have visitation, wouldnt this be considered contempt of court orders and how do I go about fixing these problems IE.. who would I talk to other than an attorney?


    Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

    We have no access to the court file. Read the court's orders and see what they say.

    You either have visitation or you do not. Again, that's not something we can investigate for you.

    You sound like you're completely out of your depths, so consulting a lawyer would be sensible. I suggest taking a copy of the court file with you to the consultation.

    Thank you for your response. Just maybe you can answer this question:

    If my parental rights had been taken, wouldn't this fact be stated in the court papers on file at the court house?
    I am not asking for investigation, just a yes or no would be fine, thank you.

    Apologies if I seem sarcastic, I am just in a real bind at the moment.

    Not necessarily, no.

    It depends on what type of action it was - and indeed, whether or not it was even in the same court.
