Q: Alabama: if my child's mother has custody of my daughter but DHR takes her from the mother, does she come to me?
My daughter was taken from her mother by DHR for unsafe living conditions. I pay child support every month. Would I have legal rights to my daughter? I just found out my daughter is now living with a non relative since being removed from her mother's care, and I was not made aware of any of this. Trying to figure out my rights.
A: Yes, you have rights. I would need more information to address this question. Maybe hire an attorney to help navigate through this potentially complicated situation.
