Q: Do I have a chance of getting my child back if I am a convicted felon?
I currently live in Arkansas but my child lives in Oklahoma he is 13 years old now. At the time he has born me and his mother were married and are still married to this day. His mother had a drug habit and she left him with me for 2 years before she returned. When she returned i allowed her to have visitation because she was still his mother. One day she took him on visitation and did not bring him home to me. I was wheel chair bound at this time due to losing my right leg due to the negligence of a driver. She filed for her grandmother to have custody. I did not receive anything in the mail Becuase THEY put my address down wrong. So I did not show up for court. An Oklahoma judge stripped me of my rights. I moved to Arkansas after I lost my son. I got into drugs and unfortunately now I am a convicted felon. I have turned my life around. Is there a chance for me to get my child back?
A: She very well may have filed for divorce and falsified info about your address. Use one of the internet background check services to see. Then visit with an experienced Family
