Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
What can we do? Dcfs invalved
My daughter inlaw gave up our
grandson because Dcfs was called in
on her. She gave him to a family friend
but because she done that Dcfs said
that we can't take him from the
woman who has him. She and my son
are still married and Dcfs said that he
had to sign a safety plan or the can
remove the baby from him and place
the baby in custady of the state. What
can he do to get baby back. How long
can Dcfs do an investgation? And what
can we do mean while? The baby is in
hospital for things and my son isn't
allowed to seechim because hecis not
on the Dcfs list of people who can visit
him. Can he just go to hospital to see
him? What can we do to get baby back
the mother doesn't want the baby but
the friend that has baby now is trying
to get him, she is claming both parents
unfit . Dcfs is not telling us what's
going on and not returning call from
us. Whom do we call to get info? On
case and do they have to tell us
anything that's going on? We can't get
a hold of the babies mother to find out
anything. She clames that they Dcfs is
keeping her in the dark also. Who can
we complain to find things out? Do we
need a lawyer or can we do this on our
own

Re: What can we do? Dcfs invalved
If you feel comfortable with the law, and fighting DCFS in court, then you should do it yourself. Otherwise, find a family lawyer who is willing to take on DCFS. I can assure you that DCFS will not give in to you because you ask nicely. Essentially they will only back down in the face of litigation.
