    Kinship care

    For what reason did they refuse placement? Did Grandma request temporary custody? Did her child's attorney request she get temporary or legal custody?

    Aunt Seeking Visitation

    Truthfully, she doesn't have standing for visitation (though they may allow it because your husband is deceased) because you and your husband were married. Relatives of unmarried parents would have had. She would also have to show unfitness per Troxel v. Granville. As long as you do not agree to...

    Can my 16 year old niece move in with her 20 year brother to continue going to her school

    And that doesn't solve the issue because custody would have to change to the brother which means both parents would have to be willing to give up custody.

    Can my 16 year old niece move in with her 20 year brother to continue going to her school

    My court appointed attorney pled me guilty without even telling me what I was charged with?

    I am totally confused by what you are saying. And I work as an attorney in dependency/neglect/abuse cases. Try to be clearer. Are your oldest children in the permanent custody of the agency? Temporary custody? How long have you been involved with DCFS? When did you move to VA from TN? When was...

    Custodial parent moved out of state leaving no address

    If mom is in Ohio... Ohio can determine that he has abandoned the child. Has he been paying child support? Can I state that Ohio has proper jurisdiction? No.. but in Probate court if mom is remarried, yes, they would... so mom could pursue a stepparent adoption and dad's consent would NOT be...
