What is the name of your state? Texas
My ex-husband, the father of my oldest child, is currently in a Texas prison serving time for a crime committed against her. If need be I can share the exact nature of the crime. He took a plea deal in June of 2006 and has since been sitting in prison. My husband was in Iraq while the sentencing went on or we would have gone ahead and started the termination process sooner. He is now back and we are wondering where we even start. I saw an attorney about a month ago and to even start the process with the law firm it would be about $5,000 and he said that didn't even cover the adoption part of the process.
I am just trying to find a light at the end of this very, very dark tunnel. I just need some advice on how to get this ball rolling, approximately how long it could take and if I really need an attorney to help me since there is already a conviction(and if it's possible for JAG to help).
