Re: fathers rights on child custody
You have to file a motion for visitation. Some office supply stores, like Gails Office Supplies in the Detroit area, have forms to help you file it. However, when you file it, go to the clerk's office of the county where they live and the clerk should make sure that your motion gets heard. In the meantime, go to legal aid to get a lawyer. Also, you should be able to borrow some money from a relative to hire a lawyer. Isn't there any grandparent who also wants to see the grandchildren?
