How does one go about getting an injunction against the mother to prevent your child from being circumcised? Do courts even grant these?

I have done it in New York. Won the decision. Still have the papers. My boy is almost 3 yrs and intact.

Also, contact Intactamerica ... they will help.

Please, please. . .if it isn't life saving, do NOT perform surgery on a newborn baby when proper consent or anesthesia isn't possible. . .ESPECIALLY if it's primarily for cosmetic or cultural reasons!

"Doing it before he's old enough to remember the pain" is the most ancient, barbaric bullshit i've ever heard; This is the 21st century.

As one of the rare "uncut" in my generation (I have boomer parents), I have this advice for you:

IF your have a son and IF he remains intact through childhood, discourage getting circumcised later in life. It WILL hurt like hell not just during and immediately after the procedure but for days or weeks - the normal friction of walking can be unbearable.
The glans is extremely sensitive - every male knows that. What most circumcised males do not know is that the uncircumcised glans is MORE sensitive.
The route I took, when I decided I did not want my foreskin covering the glans was just to pull it back. That way, I was (your son would be) able to switch back and forth between covered and uncovered while the glans adjusted to being uncovered.
These days, I don't care whether the foreskin is "up or down". But the glans has gotten used to being unprotected so it does not matter. (And, of course, I gave up that extra sensitivity.)

How about just talking to the mother and tell her you don't want it done? Make sure to tell her why you're against it, and if necissary ask her how she feels about female circumsision out of religious beliefs.

That being said I'm glad I've still got my skin. It's a real bonus as it helps making sex with a condom a lot better. Trick is to pull the skin forward over the erect penis and holding it there whilst putting on the condom.

if you don't have custody, i imagine it would be difficult to do this.

One thing I want to comment on is if you can research and ask about the possible development of the foreskin. I have to have my penis circumcise soon for medical reasons. I found out the hard way that my penis was not right when I tried to have sex the first time. I seriously almost rip by foreskin.

My point being if you can figure out how it will turn out, it WILL save your son a ton of pain, and a future circumcision.
