Q: 5 mo old Son in priv kinship care w patrnl gp's, I'm still getting on feet, father in rehab - can cps impose 1yr deadlin
Gp's live in Akron, I was in Broomfield, case is in Arapahoe cty bc I was abandoned by the father & shopping cart homeless and down south when I went into labor. I've seen my son 1 time since he was born (Oct19). Suspended parenting time bc 2 missed appts, one was bc of the father. He & i were both struggling but tried to reconcile & maintain compliance w cps while constantly struggling to keep from being evicted every month. January 23rd is when he made a final decision and kicked me out in the snow at midnight from where we were staying. So I was suddenly homeless at midnight with all my possessions being told to get off the property or he'll call the cops or the landlord. This has been a traumatic event that i am JUST NOW recovering from, but i still have no job so it's hard to comply w cps & he went to greeley rehab. Our case worker stated she is exploring other permanent placement bc of my sons young age. I WANT MY SON, but need extra time beyond 1yr deadln. Do I needLawyer
