Q: Can my daughters father keep my daughter from me by signing over his rights.

About a year and a half ago I temporarily lost my rights to daughter and he father was given custodial gaurdianship but I got her back and the case was closed. He recently got locked up and heard from one of the other inmates who I had know that I was still doing all the bad stuff I was doing that got my daughter tooken away in the first place. My baby daddy wrote me saying that he is no longer going to let me see my daughter or let her come visit me anymore and that we can only video chat and call each other he also said that was was going to temporarily give up his right to his mom can he keep me from seeing my daughter. I'm pretty sure that i still have rights to her i was never told my rights got tooken away.

A: If the father is incarcerated you should attempt to regain physical custody of your daughter right away. You’re going to have to hire an attorney. 888-343-4529.
