Legal Question in Family Law in California
we have had our 4 adopted children taken from us on jan.14th. my wife was in san diego with our 6 yr. old and was not allowed time to return to redding for hearing. at hearing they took the two girls then they flew a plane to los angeles and made my wife meet a social worker there and took our 6 yr.old boy. was my wife and sons constitutional rights violated. the charges are incomprehensible. sexual abuse and failure to protect from 2 of the children giving dad back rubs. no inappropriate touching by all accounts. we have completed all the reconciliation plan and still have not had our contention hearing. also want to know will lie detector help us we are confident we will pass.we sense its a dammned if you do dammned if you dont case. our atty. says we will not win in this courtroom with this judge.even though we have overwhelming evidence. all within says to take lie detector, our atty says judge has already made up mind and our 6 yr old boy is paying for it.he tells everyone he wants to come home. will test help us in cps court. we will wait for your response- desperate in redding. one more thing, last week judge took all visitations away against cps recommendations until 6-22-10 and moved contention hearing to this date. we are devastated by this , we did nothing to warrent this, the judge believes we are undermining him and we are not.we are defenseless against his claims,its all hearsay and we are getting beat up because of his bias.he said and i quote " i dont believe a single word you said" problem is i never spoke a word and he took all visitations away. is this legal? our son is paying the price, we weep daily for him.

It sounds like you need a new lawyer who will take this to the Court of Appeals.
