A: First of all, an attorney, prior to giving legal advice, needs to know what the prior order(s) say(s). It is impossible to tell you what legal rights he has without knowing this. If he has rights (in other words, not terminated by law), then something needs to be filed in the courts ASAP. This should be handled by an attorney and that costs money.
