ok ill make this as short as i can.I have a 12yr old son that I have always taken care of. When he was 5 I moved from pa to nc and his father came down here and took him. Neither of us had custody cause it nver was a problem.Well he went up there and filed for custody and in between that time got arrested for drugs while my son was there. The lawyers I was in contact with up there called me and told me to come and pick him up. ANyways that was august 2001 he has been locked up since and hasnt seen my son or called him or wrote to him nothing. He was supposed to not be released until 2011 and now I see that he is being released march of 09. So I havent had to draw up any paperwork cause he has been in jail and im now wrried about a judge giving him custody i mean they would b crazy to since my son was there when he was arrested and all. I Have been happily married since he was 7 and my husband has been the primary caregiver to my son . My son dont want anything to do with his real father and prob wont even want to see him. But im worried can he come down here again and demand I give him to him ? or what are my legal rights can I file my own paperwork downtown at the courthouse or do I have to have a lawyer? My husband is deployed currently and wont b home until march so I am really worried I just need to know what I have to do at this point I mean if he is on probation then he wont b able to leave the state but what if he maxed out i just am really scared for me and my son so could someone please tell me what my next move should b ?? Ty for listening !
