Newark, OH asked in Family Law and Adoption for Ohio

Q: I know where they are, but I want to make sure that I don't go to jail for contacting them

I had my children taken away from me 14 years ago and my parental rights terminated. Children Services lied when they told the judge that I didn't do anything in my case plan. I had 8 witnesses plus paperwork to prove that I did everything, but my court appointed attorney wouldn't call any of them saying that it wouldn't do any good. My oldest son will be 20 in November and my second son just turned 18.

A: Are you court ordered to stay away from them? If not, they are adults now and I don't see how you could be arrested for making contact.
