Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

It depends! Is you father a "ward of the state?" That would mean that he was determined to be either incompetent/insane or a prisoner. If he was determined to be incompetent/insane that would have taken place in a Commonwealth of Virginia court with notice to him and due process and constitutional protections afforded to him. Probably someone in you family was made the guardian of your father. That relative was most likely a resident of Virginia. Then it appears someone in the family took your father to Florida, or the guardian got tired of taking care of your father and shipped him to a relative in Florida. Then someone from Virginia Social Services found your father was not with his guardian and that started a process to remove the guardian and bring your dad back to Virginia as a "ward of the state."

Now, please understand, the facts you give me are quite unusual and I am inferring things I do not know. You need to get with the Commonwealth of Virginia's agency that deals with elderly and ask for help. At least the people can tell you what is going on. You will need some way to prove you are a child of your father, before the folks in Virginia can speak with you.

If you don't make any headway, then contact a Virginia elder law attorney for assistance.
