Q: Do I have rights to my child if there is a temporary custody in order?
Their paternal grandmother has temporary custody. I left them in her custody so I could get away from her abusive son. Now that I am stable she will not release my children to me
A:
Unless you terminated your parental rights, you still have rights as the child's mother. A more thorough review of your situation is necessary before advice can be given. Most JUSTIA attorneys offer a free initial consultation. Contact one of us today, and let us know that you found us on JUSTIA. Good luck.
Sincerely,
B. Elaine Jones, Esq.
A: If the court had anything to do with the temporary order you will have to go back to the same court and get the temporary order vacated.
