Q: Can dfacs in Rome GA take my children for alligations? And, they didn't investigate first. For drug abuse and FV?
They didn't offer a drug test first before they took my kids. And for the family violence which neither me nor my husband have a background of family violence?
A: The State may always remove a child from the custody of any parent when, following a preliminary investigation their is some evidence of neglect or danger to the child. Whether or not parents have a background of violence may or may not be relevant to an allegation of current family violence. You should be court appointed counsel. You may always confer with an experienced family law attorney.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: They do have the authority to remove a child if they feel the situation and circumstances warrant doing so. You should consider consulting with an attorney about your options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
