Re: State Custody

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

relationship, unless a written retainer agreement

is executed by the attorney and client. This

communication contains general information only.

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

communication nor legal advice. There likely are

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

http://home.pacbell.net/edbjr/ OR

http://www.CaliforniaDivorceAttorney.com

The site contains quite a bit of general

information about California Family Law, as well

as information about me (education, experience,

et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees,

policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear

enough and/or complete enough to provide a

definitive answer to you inquiry. But when the

government takes your kids away, you need the help

of a lawyer. This situation is too tricky and

too dependent on personal relationships with the

juvenile court and government lawyers, to try to do it yourself. In most

states you would be entitled to an appointed lawyer

if you cannot afford one yourself. Who's got the

kids: CA? WY? If you wait too long or don't do

the right things, parental rights could be

terminated, and the children put up for adoption,

guardianship, or long term foster care.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
