Q: A child was taken away from me a week ago my DHR. I passed my urine analysis yet her supposed father was granted custody
I just found out that a DNA test has been done and he is supposedly not her father Rumor Has It that I miss a court date so I forfeited my rights even though I was not served with paperwork 4 said court date. What charges can be filed against him and what do I need to do to get my child back
A: You need to talk with an attorney about your specific case. Your case is too unique and your question too specific to be answered generally.
A: A parent generally does not lose parental rights without a trial, which would mean the case was well along procedurally. If there was a trial set and you failed to appear, the clock is ticking fast on your time to challenge the result. I agree with the other attorney. You need to consult with someone.... and quickly.
