Are you in the UK?
Do you mean you are trying to take her to court to see your brother and sister? If so, why? If they are adults, then taking her to court will be no good - dont they know where you live? could they contact you at your grandparents if they wanted to?

Why dont you write to/ring your brother and sister if they are still with your mum? or ask your grandparents to intervene

[wyatt1992]

they are not adults they are 8 and 9

you said she'd kick your brother 4 years ago when he was 16.

It is possible to have more than one brother.

Wyatt, what is your mother's relationship like with your grandparents? Would they be able to speak to her for you? Or how about contacting a local mediation service? They can be very helpful.

Do you have a relationship with your older brother? Could he help in any way?

[4getmenot]

yes I thought that after

[wyatt1992]

no she talk to any one in are family not her mum or dad or her brother or her sister
yeah i do have a relationship with my older brother he dont want to get involved with it all.

[bednobs]

i dont think you have a "right" to see them, so i don't know what you'd be taking her to court for. Have you consulted a solicitor?

[natalie_1982]

I would pop down to your local Sure Start office who can help regarding family mediation and offer advise on how to go about it. As bednobs says, I don't think you have a legal entitlement to see your brother and sister but it would certainly be encouraged. Is there a social worker working with your mum? You could contact social services who would probably be able to negotiate supervised visits; it would probably mean that your mum would be there also but at least you would get to see your siblings.

my solicter says i do have a right to see the children
i have try to go for mediation but my mum said no
i have got social services involed but they dont want to know
i am worry about them i did everything for them when i live at home
i did more than my mum did.
i just want to see them with out puting them though the emotional effects of going to court
