Q: My child was sent away to another country to keep him away from me..I currently don't have custody of him.what can I do?
I know I had few problems to work with myself and DCFS had got involved and I didn't meet the requirements they had for me to keep custody and that's why I lost custody.
A:
you need a family law attorney with international custody experience....that is not me and i do not even know of any lawyers with that experience............but i suspect they would not be cheap.
are you even in a position to hire a lawyer? if not consider legal aid.
before you make a motion/file on that issue be sure all your past "history" is cleaned up.
if there are outstanding bench warrants or money or conditions owed to the court complete them.
if it was substance abuse have documentation to show the "new you"
