What to do when you child has been taken and access is denied?

Stop! Read this now. Your future self will thank you.

Your child's access to you has been restricted or denied. This is a terrifying and disorienting moment. Both of us ended up in court despite our best efforts to avoid it. Spoiler alert: court isn't as scary as it sounds, and I wish I had initiated proceedings sooner. From this moment on, every action you take may be used as evidence.

There is a chance this will end up in court. Every action you take—or don't take—could be used as evidence. Do not reward your ex-partner by giving them fuel for the fire. Stay calm and do not say or act in a way that makes you look like the irrational or aggressive parent.

From now on, it is your job to show and prove that you are the rational, calm parent who is always acting in the best interests of your child.
