Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: children in foster care what are my rights

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

http://home.pacbell.net/edbjr/ OR

http://www.CaliforniaDivorceAttorney.com

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, and EDD hearings and appeals, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

Juvenile Dependency matters are very "tricky" even if reunification has been ordered. Remember, no matter what he or she says, the social worker is NOT "your friend." The outcome often depends as much on relationships, credibility, and familiarity with the system, as it does on the facts and law of the case. You need to hire a lawyer to help you NOW. At this stage of the proceeding his/her retainer should be relatively reasonable.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

You have the right to request a psychological exam if you have the money to pay for it.
