Legal Question in Family Law in California

My grandson was placed in foster care (San Diego, CA) by the mother and maternal grandmother, who then moved out of state. At no time did San Diego County or the State of California attemp to contact the father (my son) who had an active child support case in San Diego. I, (paternal grandmother) removed the grandson from foster care and reunited father and son.

Do either the son and/or grandson have a case against San Diego and/or California?

We are considering possible legal action.

First you must file a Government Claim within six months of the placement. How is it that your lost custody of the child? Whether or not notice is required for foster care needs to be researched as well as what information CPS had regarding your son. Foster care is the first step, then adoption. Contact me directly.
