Re: falsely accused
I don't quite understand your question.
Before any court order regarding placement
can be changed, there must be some sort of
hearing set up with notice and opportunity
to be heard. That may be your one chance to
contest the matter. If you don't hire an
attorney and contest, you may waive your any
right to do so. It may be the only chance
you get. Temporary changes in placement
can be made on an emergency basis, so long
as they are followed up by a hearing.
But if the allegations are indeed
unfounded, nothing adverse should occur as
a result of them, right? If they were made
maliciously, you could bring a claim against
for malicious prosecution. That, however,
is an expensive proposition.
