What rights does a mom have?

Question

I went to prison for something my ex and I both did when we were young and stupid. I was supposed to get my 2 sons back when I got out, but the father wouldn't let me see them. he coned me into signing placement to him and I would get visits. He has been denying me visits whenever he feels like. I took him to court for replacement of our sons, but he lied to the Judge to make me look bad. The Judge yelled at me and now she wants to put us through mediation. I feel I can take care of my boys financially, and emotionally. What chance might I have? What can I do to get the court to see that I am fit to have my sons?

Answer 1

well the only thing you have to do is let the court know your fit and you have changed since your prison years.

first (depending on y you were in prison) go to clubs like: aa, drug clinics and political support groups.

second start sedning care pacages and documenting it so in court theyll see how much you love them

3rd change your look, i mean im not sure how you look like but get a dorky dad haircut and get a clean shirt its all about image

4rth even if you dont act sincere about the mistakes youve made say stuff like: i wanna teach my kids about values, and : ive changed so i can be the father my kids need me to be.

5th if none of this works and this may sound extreme but you can throw it in the courst face: get engaged, it will show your commited and that you can settle

of course make sure shes the mommy type

hope that helped

Answer 2

You will have to proof the the court first off that he isn't allowing you to see your kids.  Which might involve asking the kids if they are old enough to answer.   If not tape record the conversation.  Make sure that you attend all parenting classes and meditation that they assign you and keep records of all.  If he doesn't attend anything keep record of that to.  Don't depend on anyone to keep record of it.  What ever he lied about in court about you make sure the next time that you have a good character witness to you that you can summons into court to help you.  Never lash out in court.  You might feel like it but that will hurt you too.  As long as you wasn't convicted for trying to kill someone or hurting your children i would say that you have a good chance of getting your children back.  Last resort though you can appeal it and take it to a higher court where you wouldn't have the same judge.

Answer 3

Is the father of your kids the ex who was involved in what you went to prison for? If not, then he will certainly always look better to a judge than you do.

The only thing you can do is go through the mediation and take parenting classes. See the kids whenever you can. Is the visitation set in a court order? If it is, he can get in trouble for not letting you see them. Keep a record of any contact with him and any discussions you have. Make sure you have a record of when you saw the kids, and when you ask to see them and he tells you no.

How long were you in prison? If you were in there very long the kids may be better off staying with him and having visitation with you. That is the home and family they are used to and it would be very hard for them to adjust again.
