If I’m 25 and my mother is keeping me from seeing my 15 year old sister, what visitation rights I have to see her?
She is doing this out of revenge of an unrelated argument. I have no criminal record or any history of abuse.

Under the laws of many states in this country certain relatives other than the parents of a minir child (grandparents for example) can file a petition with the court seeking visitation when the parent of a minor child refuses visitation. I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about your situation to see if your state of residence provides such an option for you as the brother of a fifteen (15) year old minor.
