Q: I'm in a adoption case for my son. The judge ordered that my son can be eligible for adoption without my consent.
Now my court appointed lawyer withdrew. And told me I need to file a " entry of appearance". How do I do this, and where do I fie it. And what is it for.? I'm so lost and need help before I loose my parental rights to my son. It was a default judgement I was late for court.
A: It is not possible to teach you everything that you need to know to handle the case over the internet. You really need to hire an attorney right now and see if they can help you set aside the default. Act quickly!!!
A: You need to hire an attorney who specializes in adoption, QUICKLY. It is possible to terminate your parental rights without your consent.
