Q: How can I regain contact with my child after 8 years with zero contact
I brought my 5yr old son to reconnect with his absent father since 1 yr of age in which time his dad filed emergency custody, I was denied interstate compact beings were from Oregon and resided there at the time, and got me for abandondment and never seen my son again even still today and I was in recovery at such time which I can provide evident proof of but shortly after this I did relapse but longer after they gave his dad permanent custody which they done within the first month while also never contacting me for court dates which 3 occured during that one months time as well as denied me contact with my child violating my parental and maybe my human rights and directed me not to physically come back to ky during such time due to lack of resources, and never informing me that the case was actually against me etc will need to talk more in person but I kind of gave up the legal system shortly after I realized they were against me and haven't tried any legal action since what can I do
A: File a motion for reunification with the children in the underlying action in which dad was granted custody. Ask the court to send everyone to reunification therapy so you can begin a graduated Re-entry into the childrens lives.
