If Sini does get custody back, does this mean she will have to divorce WM? We don't know how long WM is going to jail for. What if he is jailed for only a few months/years and is back with Sini?
No, even after conviction he would stil have all of his parental rights unless she (Sini) wanted to persue a termination of parental rights (which legally she could on the basis of abandonment) it sounds odd but legally a prison term may be considered as abandonment. If CPS/DSS/DCF Maintains custody the would persue a termination around the 1 year mark. CPS/DSS/DCF could make Sini agree to no contact with him as a condition of regaining custody.
