Q: In recovery with 2 children. They reside with their grandparent who limits me to 8 hours/wk. How can I get them back?
If no DYFS has been involved or any legal issues what can I do? I have been devastated and trying to get my children back but their grandparent is limiting me to 2 days a week for only a few hours with them. Faithfully I have been going for 6 months now even with a 2 hours bus commute and I'd like more time with them to begin transitioning them back with me full time. If no order was ever signed, what avenues should I take to get them more often to begin the transition ? Am I legally bound to her days and times she says work for her or can I gain more time with my children? Please help. I am lost without my children and love them very much.
A: Very much of the answer depends on the court order. I do think you have recourse, however, a lawyer will need more information about the case. If there is a court order, you need to show a substantial change of circumstances affecting the welfare of your children to modify the order.
