Right to Live as a Family

[Freebird_Now]

We are looking for any advice on the topic of Constitutional right to live as a family.
Recently paroled parolee is not allowed to live with his wife and children.
Due to the fact that his crime was a d.v. incident in a previous relationship.
This is a special condition of parole in New York.
Any information to that can help our family to be reunited so we can live our lives the way a family should will be grealy appreciated.

I assume that you agreed to the conditions of parole, so I don't see how your constitutional rights have been violated.

Parole conditions

You must sign parole papers to leave. Though everyone signs them under duress and compulsion. Conditions can and are added to by the field parole officer. Inside, the conditions state "will abide by field parole officers added conditions". So you have a choice, stay or fight it outside. Anyone else have any info that can help us?

Thanks in advance.

There is no "right to live as a family", nor is there a "right" to parole. Parole is granted to give the convict an opportunity to leave custody provided he agrees to certain conditions. If he agrees to those conditions, he can leave ... provided he abides by them, he can remain free. These conditions can do many things: Restrict movement, require regular reporting of location and employment, allow personal and residential searches at the whim of law enforcement and parole, require drug testing, restrict where you can live and who you can contact, etc.

So, as was previously mentioned, he can agree to the terms and be released, or, he can decline the conditions and remain in custody.

If he thinks he might have a shot in the dark to combat this, he is free to hire an attorney to look at the matter.

That is not duress. Most conditions of parole are reasonable and there is no right to parole. He could still be sitting in prison. He did not have to take parole, he can sit in prison if he wants instead. He needs to talk to an attorney. How long is this parole requirement in effect for? Does it say?
