Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
My friend and her children were at my house when a social worker, and 3 police officers entered my home and took custody of her 4 children. I found it odd that they gave no reason, they searched my home without permission, and none of them had a piece of paper with them. She still doesn't know the specific reasons for the displacement, she has asked, and was told it was an emergency displacement because of Meth amphetemine. Now they found nothing of the sort at my house or hers from what I understand, but were able to take the kids anyway. Where does she go for help? The government has also frozen her account, so she has no access to money for a lawyer. How does she find someone to help her wade through the web?

I suggest the person contact the Legal Aid Society as a starting point in seeking help. If the friend has some financial resources, know that some attorneys will provide reduced fee for financial hardship.

She would be wise to retain counsel. Child Protection proceedings are complex and require experienced counsel. It is likely that an Emergency Placement Hearing will be scheduled for later this week. She should be represented at that hearing.
