Hello, I have received a copy of your e-mail regarding custody. Yes, I think you have a very good chance for a visitation order and a decent but more difficult chance for custody. However, the longer you wait the more difficult it will become. Feel free to call our office to schedule an appointment to discuss your options, the likelihood of success and likely fee ranges.

Re: Had my son taken away from me
You would be best advised to litigate in NY, if possible. If the child has not yet been in Michigan for six months, then NY still has custody jurisdiction.
You can file a Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Family Court, but you must act quickly.
You do not mention whether you are married to the mother. If so, suggest you file a divorce action in NY, before she files in MI.
If you wish to discuss this with me privately, please call to schedule a confidential consultation.
I practice in NYC and Long Island.
