FAQ
Allow your child to ask for a change of times and days when they see you and help them to feel comfortable doing this. If what they're asking for isn't possible, then explain why and work together to find alternative solutions. Remember to listen to your child's point of view.
If the court grants the writ of habeas corpus, it may schedule a hearing to determine the child's custody or visitation arrangements. During the hearing, both parents will have the opportunity to present their arguments and evidence.
Usually the court will not consider child's preference unless the child is at least 14 years old.
Mothers historically have won more custody battles due to traditional roles and perceptions of mothers as the primary caregivers.
State every ground (reason) that supports your claim that you are being held in violation of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. Attach additional pages if you have more than four grounds. State the facts supporting each ground. Any legal arguments must be submitted in a separate memorandum.
At age 18 in all of the United States, a child can decide not to visit the other parent without consequence to themselves or the favored parent. Children who are considered legal adults (age 18 in most states) may always refuse to spend time with a parent.
Notify and involve the other parent If your child refuses visitation, notify your co-parent as soon as possible. Use a method of communication that can document the incident and can prove when you told your co-parent.
Sometimes, with older children who refuse visitation, it may not be considered the parent's fault if the visit didn't happen. But if a child continually refuses to follow the visitation schedule, regardless of the child's age, then a parent may decide to get the court involved through contempt proceedings.
Habeas Corpus is a legal action through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention. In custody disputes, a parent may file a writ of Habeas Corpus asking the court to order the other parent to return the child.
Habeas Corpus petitions are filed in a California court by inmates or, more specifically, their attorneys, claiming they have been unlawfully detained or imprisoned. It is considered a last legal resort after other legal remedies and appeals have been exhausted.
