Re: Division of family services

In the first place it is absolutely unbelievable that you waited until 5 days before a court date in which your parental rights might be terminated to seek legal advice. It seems to me that your children would have been important enough for you to hire legal counsel from the very beginning. I do not know too many lawyers who would get involved in such a serious, complicated case upon such short notice. You might try contacting the local bar association and sseing if anyone would be willing to talk to you. Good luck.
