Are There Non-Biological Mom's Visitation Rights in California?
My ex-partner and I were in a 12-year relationship. Last summer, my ex decided that our son should be with her and our daughter with me. Since then, things have gone downhill, and she no longer allows me to see our son. She has visitation, which we are currently mediating, for our daughter. I have been told that in the current situation in California, I have no chance even of getting visitation of our son. Is this true?
What are the Non-Biological Mom's Visitation Rights in Indiana?
I am a resident of Indiana and recently ended an eight-year relationship with another woman.

However, when she becomes angry with me, she takes the child saying that I am unfit and does not allow me to see him for weeks. I was wondering if I have any legal ground on which to stand regarding shared custody or visitation.

How Do I Help My Child Deal with Her Anger?
I am the divorced mother of a 3-year-old girl. Visitation with her father is three weekends per month and some time during the summer. But, to put it mildly, he does not like the fact that I am in a lesbian relationship. My daughter is a totally different kid on those Mondays after spending time with him. I went into the divorce with the attitude that it’s important for her to have a relationship with her father. Now I am not so sure. What would you suggest?
Can You Be Denied Custody in Indiana for Being in a Same-Sex Relationship?
I have been in a relationship with a woman who has two children and is going through a divorce. Her husband and father are threatening to deny her custody of her children, with no visitation rights at all, if she stays with me. This has put a real strain on our relationship, so much so that we have split up so that she has a better chance keeping her children. I know that our splitting up has helped a little. But I can’t help but feel rage at what her father is doing to her. How can I help her?
