Re: Custody part 2

You don't indicate whether you're a grandparent, friend, of the children. You should contact the local Florida Dept of Children & Families. Explain the situation, your relationship to the children, that you are interested in caring for then as temporary guardian or foster parent, that you are interested in their welfare and will help them. You will receive child support based on number of childen. An investigator or caseworker will check out the situation and recommend some action to the court. A caseworker will be assigned to the children and you if you are approved.
