i was in a 3 year relationship which resulted in a daughter. last year i went to prison a dwi charge and during my incarceration, the mother gave temporary custody of the child to the maternal grandparents. after my release i tried to amicable with my daughters grandparent, but to no avail. my daughters mother had some kind of mental breakdown during my six month sentence and eventually went to an emotional/drug rehad in Tennessee. the grandparents, angry that her(my ex) and i had seen one another really made everything worse. my ex and i are no longer together and she lives across the state, not with our child. the maternal grandparents are controlling and act as if i don't exist. i tried to reach them, and now through emails with my ex i have found out that their house is for sale, and in trying to reach their cell phone numbers, i discovered that they have been changed. i was never alerted to this lawyer they hired and temp custody being handed over to them when i was incarcerated and there was never any type of custody hearing in a family court. i have not seen my daughter in months, and its killing me. i am and have been getting my life together, and really have no record besides dwis. is this a lost cause? do i not have the superior rights to my daughter. i am not letting them just shut me out of daughters life. how do i get custody. even my daughters mother would rather i have custody than her parents. any help will do. thanks, Christopher
