Q: We have 2 grandchildren who are not being properly cared for. They are neglected and we have pictures of neglect. Help!
The first grandchild was taken by dfcs for the same reason. We don't want the kids to go to Foster care and we are able to care for them. What do we do?
A: You can file either a third party custody action or a private dependency action if you believe the children are being neglected. An experienced family law attorney can help you with either and guide you on which option would be best under the circumstances.
A:
You need to speak with an attorney about your options. Grandparents cases are very difficult and you need an experienced attorney to help you through the process.
