I need to get some kind of formal visitation schedule in place for my grandson and need help, I need advice, representation and a breakdown of the process to follow to pursue this quickly. . I also need legal aid

Lawyer's Assistant: How close is the relationship with the grandchild here?

He is almost one (22-1-20) I have been very active up until the complete breakdown of the relationship with the mother, there is a lot to it, Family Violence, Oranga Tamariki involvement, Father in jail. . for the first 3 months I stayed with the new family as per O T requirements, the mother has activated a protection order on father ( my son) he is on remand, mother is refusing us contact since 7 - 12 - 20

Lawyer's Assistant: What state are your children in? Visitation rights vary by state.

Oh, I'm in NZ

Lawyer's Assistant: Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?

There is a lot! we have followed process for visits in jail , obviously supervised, with father, late last night, mother text to say even though she signed consent yesterday, visits cant happen, besides that, we have video evidence of Meth being smoked in the house, mother present, O.T seem to have not acted and mother seems to swing from yes we can have a relationship with baby to no we can't
