Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Re: Abuse/adoption

Several years back Lt Governor Connie Binsfield sponsored a committee which investigated and revamped Child protection laws in Michigan. The legislation which evoved from this is known as the Binsfield legislation. Among other things it mandated the FIA to look into starting an investigation and termination proceedings in cases where a parent either gave up custody to the state ot the parental rights were terminated by the state whenever another child is born and the state becomes aware of such. Was tweaked a little after the firsat year to allow such to occur only when there is evidence which could support a new petition. For most individuals who have had their rights terminated this means that there is a good likelihood that the state will try and grab the new child. If you are pregnant talk with an attorney for guidance as there are ways you can get around the legislation, i.e. guardianships. Good luck.
