Hello ****, in South Carolina, you have the following rights as a father:
- Right to visit your children
- Right to request joint or sole custody
However, it's important to respect the premises of others. If you feel your rights are being violated, it would be advisable to seek legal representation.
Even if it’s his property I can still go visit my kids?
In South Carolina, while you have rights as a father, you must also respect property laws. If you're denied access, consider mediation or legal action to enforce visitation rights. Always avoid confrontation.
What if my wife’s mother also owns the property and says I can be there?
The co-ownership of the property by your wife's mother can complicate things. You should try to obtain her permission in writing to avoid any issues. However, it's always best to consult with a local attorney to understand your rights better.
If he tries to physically fight me upon entry even though I have in writing my mother in law says I can be there, will I get in trouble for trespassing?
If you have written permission from a co-owner, you're not trespassing. But, if there's physical violence or a threat, it's best to leave and contact the police. Consider seeking legal counsel to avoid such situations.
