Father to Felon - A True Nonfiction Account (Father to Felon Series Book 1)

Father to Felon is a true nonfiction account of a father’s sudden and total separation from his teenage daughter after a routine family-court filing triggers a chain reaction of allegations, court orders, and procedural delay.

Written in real time, this book documents fifteen years of active fatherhood colliding with the modern family court system. What begins as a narrow request to enforce an existing custody order escalates into a no-contact restraining order, prolonged litigation, and the forced removal of a child from her father’s life without prior findings of harm.

The narrative follows the author through months of court appearances, continuances, judicial reassignments, and evidentiary hearings, revealing how time, procedure, and repetition can replace fact-finding. What is labeled “temporary” becomes routine. What is framed as protection becomes separation. The system does not decide quickly; it waits, allowing absence to harden into status quo.

As the case intensifies, the consequences extend beyond family court. Law enforcement becomes involved not because of a proven crime, but because courtroom conflict and protected speech are reinterpreted as threat. The author documents being contacted by sheriff’s deputies, subjected to armed police response, and ultimately jailed — not following a conviction, but as a downstream effect of how family-court narratives migrate into the criminal system.

Paperwork turns into police presence. Allegations turn into guns in his face. Family court quietly hands the story off to law enforcement, where the stakes escalate instantly. Jail appears not as punishment for violence, but as collateral damage of a process that no longer distinguishes between dispute, dissent, and danger.

The book reaches its most devastating moment when the author’s daughter is brought into court and placed on the witness stand, transforming a parent-child relationship into evidence. What follows is not closure, but fracture — a moment where procedure overtakes protection and a child is asked to carry the weight of adult litigation.

This is not a legal guide.
This is not a policy argument.
This is not fiction.

It is a firsthand record of how a father becomes labeled, isolated, criminalized, and incarcerated through process alone. Father to Felon documents the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of enforced silence, showing how identity can be rewritten through filings, transcripts, and orders until the label replaces the relationship.

It is a record of what happens when parenting becomes procedural, when truth is compressed to fit a calendar, and when the system never pauses to measure the cost.
