Leesburg, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: Family Foster children have been with us for a year, now they want to remove them due to my husband's background.

6 nieces and nephews of my husband's were placed with us as family foster due to emergency removal from their home.

We underwent background checks, drug tests and a home study and everything was approved with no issues for a year. We got the phone call that they now want to remove all of the children after one year because of my husband's background. He was very honest and showed proof to all of his accomplishments and his ability to provide and care for the children. No new charges of any sort has been placed on his record since the background check was performed by the state upon placement of the children.

A: As much as I feel saddened by your current situation, having worked as a supervising lawyer for Florida Department of Children & Families--longer than I wanted to--I feel compelled to point out that DCF does NOT EVER upset any families in the manner described by you for NO reason. Hire a Family lawyer and ask them to find out what has caused this.
