Re: child laws

He is still the father and has an edge as to who should be the residential parent. It does depend on what he is in jail for, and the best interest of the child. Before the son loses the right to have the child, the court must find he is unfit. If you are interested in establishing yourself or him as the custodial parent, feel free to contact our office as we handle such cases. Good Luck.
