My brothers ex girlfriend is not wanting.him to see his son bc it's been 9 1/2 years but he's.getting.out early for.Good behaviour.... He turned his life over to God and is doing really good he has a home when he gets out can he get custody and visitation in the state of.Ky
A: So long as his parental rights have not been terminated, the father can file a motion for custody and parenting time. I would expect a lot of push back and if the court is inclined to start reintroducing the father to the child, I would expect it to go through a therapist. The father is going to need a lot of patience and understanding. Contact a family law attorney in the county where the child has resided for a consultation. Best of luck.
