Re: Custody Appeal

Termination of Parental Rights is a serious matter and involves vital issues of constitutional law. You need to involve a competent attorney immediately to assist you. Usually the courts prefer a member of the extended family, provided that the member of the family is not a conduit for the "bad parent" to regain control of the children.

You should see an attorney specializing in this area of the law as soon as possible. Emphasize that your concern is for the children being shuffled from one home to another. I wish you the best of luck in what must be a gut-wrenching situation for you.
