What Are My Options if My Grandchildren Were Taken By DCS or CPS?

Posted on 20th September 2016 by RadiateWP in Blog, Divorce and Custody

Option 1: If a grandparent wants to support their own child in regaining custody of their grandchildren eventually, the grandparent can seek placement of the children without actually filing any kind of suit. This means that a grandparent can provide a home for the children so they stay out of foster care, but they are still able to provide testimony on the parents’ behalf. Option 2: A grandparent may choose to file their own lawsuit, called an intervention, to seek legal custody of the grandchildren instead of just a temporary placement. Once this kind of suit is filed, the grandparent must be prepared to give a statement asserting that if the children are returned to either of their parents, the children’s health or emotional development will be significantly impaired. This option allows the grandparent to step in more emphatically, and have more of a voice in the courtroom than if they choose option one. It is also a more definitive step, and grandparents must be aware of the statements that will be required of them, and must truly believe that the well-being of their grandchildren is at stake. If your grandchildren have been taken away from their parents by DCS or CPS, the first thing you must do is seek legal counsel. A skilled family law attorney will be trained to handle CPS cases and can give you the most comprehensive assessment of your options and responsibilities, all while understanding the urgency of your case.]]>
