San Antonio, TX asked in Copyright, Intellectual Property, Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: married mother under investigation process and my caseworker has yet to summit an application for my assesment. This ok?

What are my rights? I need advice! I know I've made mistakes, but im a great mom and my babies need me! How can i help this nightmare end? Im going to do better for my babies, no doubt. Im trying to work with the investigator, but when will my case become important enough? Im no one in this world to them, but my kids are my universe and vis versa. I let the investigator into my home on the 9th, have complied with everything and want to continue to do so. I've been very persistent with trying to reach out to them. Ive seen my kids 3 times only, because my mother in law is upset with me (understandable) but my only "restrictions" are cannot be left alone and cannot sleep over. Im just ready to take whatever steps needed. What do i need to do now, im ready to take this problem by the reigns if im left in the dark any longer. 21 days all of a sudden feels like 21 decades!

A: Based on your details it sounds like you’re a good mother who has made some mistakes. Sounds like you have taken responsibility of those mistakes and ready to forge ahead. In order to fight the way you need to you’re going to have to hire your own attorney and be ready to spend thousands of dollars. I bring up money because fights like yours can be time consuming. Get an attorney and fight. Good luck. 888-343-4529.
