Combining a VPO with a paternity or divorce case is common. After the cases were consolidated, was a hearing set (by either party) to address both matters in the paternity case?
Did the parties have attorneys or was this a pro se deal gone wrong?

The parents should also consult with a family law attorney asap to explain the situation in full detail and that attorney can then explain any... Read more »

The Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C., sec. 1981; et. seq. [including section 1983] is probably the law to be used. That Act adopts a state's statute of limitations period for personal injury claims as the time limitation. The issue being: in which state did the imprisonment first occur?
