Q. Could aparent of a child refuse to return child to the guardian after a visit, if there was a safety concern with
A: A person can withhold a child for safety reasons, however they risk being in violation of a court order if the issue is brought to Court and the Court determines that there was not imminent harm. Generally when a person withholds a child, that person simultaneously files an emergency motion with the court with regards to the situation.
Q. After the CFI report has been filed, and the magistrate said supplemental/rebuttal report needs filed within 14 days…
A: Only a CFI can write a rebuttal report. However, you can submit whatever evidence you have in your testimony in court. There are rules of evidence surrounding character evidence and impeaching someone. If testimony is admitted about the lie, then you can impeach the lie. The CFI Report will be admitted in its entirety so you can testify as to what you believe is not accurate in the report and submit whatever evidence that you have to contradict the lie.
