A:
Your best bet is to discuss this with your DHS caseworker and see what the DHS attitude is about what you want. Also ask when the next Court date is scheduled, and tell them you want to be there. The Judge should have appointed an Attorney or Guardian Ad Litem for you, and perhaps even a CASA worker. Contact them for help too. Good Luck to you, and YOUR family. Best wishes for a much better New Year. GJD
