Q: Im on a trails record and appealed it. I need to respond to an offer from them. Not sure what to do.
My wife (now ex) accused me of molesting my 3.5 yr old daughter. I never did that! Dept of Human services were called. My case was unfounded until an unlicensed clinical social worker got involved saying my daughter was saying she had "secrets" and making up things my daughter would never say. The DHS then made it founded. I didn't see my daughter for 18 pos (No contact-phone, emails, cards, anything) We are in reunification therapy but I cannot afford it anymore ($250/hr). Im now on a trails record and my case also became a dependency and neglect. I have a contested hearing for the D & N on 11/17. I was given an "offer" on my appeal for the trails and I just don't know what to do. Im so tired of fighting all of them. I just want to have my daughter back in my life. She's only 5 yrs old. Im at such a loss right now.
A: Contact an attorney to review your offer and the potential outcomes of accepting the offer.
