How can I protect my parental rights and ensure visitation and shared custody if I am in jail?
Question:
I just spent time in jail for felony non-support after I fell behind on child support payments. I heard in Texas that this charge is no longer a felony.
Is it possible to get a felony conviction expunged from my record?
Question:
My fiancé has custody of his child because the mother abuses drugs and alcohol and was recently put in jail. My fiancé never took the child to see the mother in jail, and now the mother is threatening to file contempt papers against him for not allowing her visitation even though she is in jail.
Can he be found in contempt for not allowing the biological mother her parenting time even though she was incarcerated?
Question:
I have joint custody of my daughter and pay child support. Last year, my daughter got in trouble and spent 6 months in jail. Do I still have to pay for that time she was locked up?
Question: My ex wife, who is the custodial parent, is facing a prison sentence of at least 12 months for felony grand theft after being arrested in front of our children last year. When she was arrested, her new husband took the kids to a different city and would not tell me where they were until it was my designated visitation time (the arrangement is 60/40).
She has been in held in contempt several times for custodial interference, and now I'm afraid her husband will disappear with my kids again. Will I be able to get sole custody if she goes to jail? If so, will that only last until she is released? Will I have to take the kids to visit her in jail? How should I handle this?
