Q: My son’s sex offender father is getting out prison and wants custody. I do not want this. What should I do?
My son’s father is getting out of prison in January of 2025. In 2017 he was convicted of 2nd Degree Sodomy and will be a Tier 3 sex offender (victims were 14 and 13 females). He is intent on getting some type of custody of his son. I am not comfortable with this. We have had no previous custody agreements, as he and I were together and our son was 3, he has not paid child support and has not seen his son in 7 years. Does he have any rights and should I get a lawyer?
