Custody Issues / Re: Mother in Prison
Jul 02, 2009, 04:37:30 PM
The stupid thing is that I wasn't contacted by normal means. My mother found out what had happened and she called me to tell me what had happened. I contacted childrens services and the court and was told by both that I needed to contact a lawyer. I did get in touch with one finally and am trying to quickly come up with the retainer that he is asking to get things started. The lawyer told me that once he gets the retainer he will file the papers for emergency custody and then for her to permenantly be taken out of state. I do not care if my ex ever pays child support. She has 3 kids (mine included) from different dads and is pregnant with a forth from yet another father. I just want my daughter to be in a safe, happy, normal enviroment and of course have always wanted her to be with me. I just don't understand why I was not contacted in the correct way when this happened. BTW yes my daughter has been living with the grandmother as that is where my ex lived.

She will be in prison for 1 year. Before I moved to ohio a few years ago for work I saw her pretty much on a regular basis other then the times I would go to pick her up and noone would be home. But since I have moved it has been a battle. I did get to see her when we went to NE for christmas and that is when we made plans for her to come for the summer. My daughter is 9 yrs old and I would do whatever I could to let her see my ex's family if she wanted. Right now we are in the process of trying to find a lawyer that will work with us. My wife just started a business so our savings went into that. Legal aide was suggested to me so at the moment I am on hold with them. I am also waiting for a return call from 2 other lawyers that weren't available this morning. Its hard to find a lawyer when you live in another state.

Custody Issues / Mother in Prison

I just recieved a call tonight that my ex wife was put in federal prison for fraud. I will be making some calls tomorrow to hopefully find out what I need to do to get my daughter. She is staying with my ex's mother at the moment. I was supposed to be getting her for the summer this year as I live out of state but was told I couldn't get her. Now I know why !!! Oh BTW my daughter lives in Nebraska. Thanks in advance for any help.
