I'll keept this brief:
A dear friend was falsly accused of a crime, & since has not been allowed any contact with his children. After a long battle against the charges, he signed a deferred prosecution agreement. He did NOT admit guilt in the agreement & he had the agreement reviewed by two lawyers because he refused to sign anything that would hinder his chance for visitaion with his children.
His divorce decree says when there is a final resolution of the criminal case, he can bring a motion to modify visitaion. The judge did not consider the deferred prosecution final, and would not hear the case.
Has anybody had experience with this? & if so, is there any course of action he can take at this point?
