A: You didn't actually ask a question, but I'm going to assume that you're asking how to get visitation with your son. You need to hire an experienced family law attorney, probably in the county and state where your son lives, and sue for custody and visitation.

A: Hello,

If you are wanting to have visitation with or custody of your son then you should begin the process of filing a complaint for child custody. I would definitely start with consulting with family law attorneys in your county since each county has different local rules and can get tricky. I would also try calling the Clerk of Court in your county (or the County that your son lives in if it is different) and ask them if they have any information for you to try to begin that process on your own if necessary.
