Q: I have sole joint custody of my three year old,I got falsely accused of a DUI while my daughter was in the car so....
I asked her father to come and get her,cps ruled that she was to stay with her father temporarily. There is no document proving the guide lines of her findings and rules/regulations. Her father also.filed for emergency custody and was denied. Since there is no documents provided stating why I'm not allowed to have my daughter back should I be able to go get her since I still legally have sole custody. Also.Innocent until proven guilty which is why emergency custody was denied. My case will.be 5/31/2017. What are the rules for a case like this.
A: We handle cases like this regularly. In a DUI there are a lot of factors that go into the case becoming fightable. Issues such as custody are handled other lawyers in my firm. The most important thing is that you get the criminal/DUI matter resolved. The issue is that one court is family the other is criminal. But the DUI could have a bearing on the other case so I would want that resolved favorably first. Like any other case question, you can feel free to call us for a confidential, free consultation.
