Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Child Custody
My ex and I have a 7 1/2 month old daughter. He has been incarcerated (robbery 1st) since March 2006 and will be until 2016. I do not want to subject my child to visitation in a prison. He and I have since split up and I was inquiring on whether or not I should take him to court for full custody and if so is there any way he will get visitation rights?

Re: Child Custody
If you are not married to your "EX" you do not need to do anything. And, you do not need to visit your EX in prison, or arrange to have your child visit him in prison, absent a Court Order, for same. Which is very unlikely to be granted.
If you are married, then you should get a divorce, ASAP, in which you include in the Judgment, the child care, custody, child support, arrangment that you may want.
Good luck,
