can a probation officer take away my visition rights as a father if my son is in trouble with the court?

Providing that the child has had no reason to be in home detention because of his parents then there are no reasons why you should not be able to visit.  Get legal advice.  You can sue.

Your father is a convicted prisoner, appeal or not appeal, and that is how he will be treated.  \n\nI've found a link which spells it all out in very simple terms.  http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/nm/p_prisoners_-_visits.pdf\n\nAll the best to you and your family.

If his name is not on the birth certificate then he has no rights at all and you can do what you please.\n\nIf it is then he would have to take you to court, he def won't get legal aid earning 60k.  So yeah, you do not have to let him see the child untill the courts force you.  If he is abusive then I hope everything goes in your favour.

Do not by any means let them go w/ their father again is must be hard specially if the kids are asking to see him. I ve been thru the same thing he took my son away and at the time there was no court order so when i did call the police saying he didnt want to give me my one month old son back all they could do was stare at me and tell me there was nothing they could do since he was the father. He was very abusive and consumed drugs at the time but still nothing was done plz dont let them go for the saftey of your kids its hard i know but looking im pretty sure you will find whats just right and get the help you need

do you have an attorney? i do know that in the state of TX you can ask him be given supervised visitation where you can designate someone who has to be there every time he has the child and in some cases you can even say where he has to be during that time i went through something similar with my daughter in the end he gave up all rights to her so it is OK now but there are options you will just need a good attorney to make sure that you are utilizing the system to your advantage

dont worry, relax, if his father takes him off, he will go to jail. i'm sure your son is going to enjoy having some time with his dad.

First you have to prove he is your father, they you have to get his permission. Speak to a lawer because you will have to  go to court.

He is your son...call the cops and child protection services,unless you have something to hide?

If you signed a paternity affidavit after she had the child, then you can see a lawyer and petition for custody or visitation.  If you didn't, then you'll have to see a lawyer and go through the process from the beginning.  \nIf you have no court order saying you have visitation, then there is nothing you can do except get some visitation rights. \nIf you are willing to pay child support, or are already paying child support then you will have a better chance.\nIf the mother suspects you of using drugs, then you have a worse chance, but just have to prove you arent.\n\nBut there has to be court documents saying how your visitation runs, otherwise she can do whatever she wants.

Without any court order, you can take your son anywhere you want.  I have been in the middle of a battle for some time.  I recommend you really evaluate what you want and what is best for your son.  You should consider how he will look back on this situation and on you.\n\nWith a court order a Judge declares the terms of the custody.  Police and social sevices like welfare then act according to the court order.  If there is no order, the police cannot do anything.  You or your ex could take off with your son and the police will not act.  Now, say you take your son and drop the child off at daycare while you are at work.  Your ex can show up and take the child because she is a parent.  This means that if you want to just take your son and withold custody from the mother, you will need to be able to be with the child 24x7 or hide the child so that she cannot find him until you get a court order granting you full custody.\n\nKeep in mind that the courts are very hesitant to keep a child from either parent unless there is compelling proof that the child is in danger.  In most cases, the court will award 80% custody to the mother if the child is young.  I was lucky in that I was able to take my daughter for 50% of the time while this has been going through the courts.  I am awaiting the judges decision, but all indication is that teh judge will not make a change to an agreemnet that the parents have been living by.  If I had fought my ex over the deal, she would have wound up with the 80% custody and I would have been paying out the a** for child support.\n\nIf the woman is a true danger to your child, then by all means do something right away.  But, if you will have a hard time proving in court that she is a danger, you are better off cutting your losses and tryig to handle this in a very accomidating way.

Your son did good by leaving and should counter file against her for filing false police report. Also if there were any adult witness in the facility it would be best for him to get statements form them to take with him that he was the bigger person and left.

Ask both the parents to sign the child over to you.  Then, there will be nothing further that the state can do to take the child away or change the situation.  If the mother is in jail and the father can't support the child, I can't imagine that they wouldn't let the child be with you.

I doubt that incident will make a judge decide to give you custody.\nIt helps your case that he didn't see her. I doubt he'll even go to jail, but I don't have the details I need to make that decision. You are right not to expect too much. The DA will make a decision as to whether this matter will be brought to court. It sounds like you kept your part of the order when you sent your daughter to visit him. Did you know that your son would not be allowed? Did you send your son knowing that your x would not allow that? I am not trying to be dispectful, but am trying to point out possiblies. If you can afford it, hire an attorney to help  you with the matter.

Ask your probation officer...\nDon't depend on answers in this medium for important information such as this.

If there is no custody order in effect that states he has visitation rights, then no, he cannot force you to stay with him.  And either way, he certainly cannot send you to a "child home".
