While incarcerated but she has not allowed me contact with my child the 4 years I was incarcerated how do I go about terminating the guardianship and getting my child back?

If you are no longer incarcerated, which is what I’m assuming, then you should consult with an attorney. An attorney can review the facts of your case in detail, present you with your options, and help you plan the proper course of action.

I agree with my colleague, if they don’t have a record it won’t be a lot. If they do have a record then there’s no telling what it could be. Depends on the facts of the case and the record.

Since he has the right to be the tie breaker then he will get to make the call. Sorry about the inconvenience that it causes. This should have been discussed, but in the end he was given the tie breaker right.
