In 1990 my mother was granted visition rights to see her children in the state of Kansas under supervision of their paternal grandmother at her house (nowhere else and even with my grandmother we could not leave the house, also a person from child protective services has to be on the premisis at the time). In 1995 she was convicted of Forgery and sentenced to 5 years probation in the state of Utah (she had gone there to see another child). As part of her probation in Utah she was not allowed to leave the state. My question is can the state of Utah deny my mother her rights to visit her children in Kansas because of probation even though the state of Kansas set very strict guidelines of the meeting places? If not is there anything we can do (now we are over 18 years old but this stripped us of a chance to get to know our mother at all).

You guys are missing the point. She was given such strict visitation rights because she did something extremely illegal in Kansas that endangered the life of her children. She could not see her children in no way, shape, or form when in Utah because her probation officer denied her to the right to leave the state. I cannot visit her now - she died in 2001 before I turned 18. They stripped me of my right to know my mother.
