My wife has guardianship of our Daughter who is 18 but has downs syndrome. My daughter wants to visit with me for weekends as she has been for the past 6 or more years but her Mother wont allow her to. I live in MA and she lives in RI. What can I do to have my daughter come with me for weekend visits ?

Raymond,

You might be able to challenge this with the same court that appointed your wife as guardian. But first it might be helpful to find out what your wife's concerns/objections are and try to overcome them. If there is a court proceeding, it would be helpful to be able to demonstrate that your wife is being completely unreasonable and inflexible, and that you have tried in good faith to address any concerns she has.

Thank you Steve, We dont talk at all except via e-mail. What I hear is that her new Husband and herself dont want to have anything to do with me and by keeping me and our daughter away from each other that keeps me away even though it is really hurting our daughter as much if not more than me. I just cant how a parent can keep another parent out of a persons life just because she has guardianship.
