My father's health is failing and we are not allowed to see or talk to him. Are there any legal means to get us visitation rights?

CWhasfaith, sorry your question hadn't been answered. I am moving your question back to the front page.

Have you sought legal advice from an attorney?

Adult protective services might be able to negotiate some. Worth a call!

Wow. Was their any reason given? Are their details you aren't sharing? Did a battle between you ensue at some point? Does your father WANT to see you? I would absolutely contact an attorney!

Check out the website Kasemcares.org They also have a Facebook page.

This organization has worked to pass laws in several states - with legislation pending in many others - concerning this issue and other elder rights.

They have a phone number you can call or you can contact via email for help and information.

I am not affiliated with this group in any way - just impressed with the work they do.

Thank you for the replies. My Father passed March 23. He was a wonderful loving man. Heaven gained another angel.

I'm so sorry, and I hope you got to see him.

Sorry for the loss of your father and the difficult circumstances.
