Q: What is going to happen next?
My ex has been alienating me from my son since he was a year old. Telling him to call me "Uncle". She told me I can be his father when she gets child support. Any visitation I had with him, she felt the need to supervise personally and I was only able to visit with him for 2 hour increments every 3 to 6 months. She also moved to Florida completely eliminating my visitation opportunity. I haven't had a job in over a year after being terminated from my last employment because of my driver's License being taken due to child support. I received a summons with a packet of paperwork today via county sheriff. The papers state that i must respond before January 10th. The Sheriff said its not a summons to appear in court. Which I'm uncomfortable believing.
A: You'll need to have a lawyer see the papers the sheriff served on before he or she can tell you what they are and what you should do about them. The lawyer can also give you advice about your rights to see your son and whether or not your ex could legally take him to Florida. A lawyer needs lots more information than you posted to give you good advice.
