Indianapolis, IN asked in Family Law, Adoption and Child Custody for Kentucky

Q: How can I petition the courts of KY(CPS more specifically )for contempt, without an attorney? I live in another state.

The judge ordered a new home study to be done for my home and for me to be included in my nieces counseling via zoom/phone appointment bc I live in another state. Within two weeks, case was closed nothing ordered and placement of my nieces have been settled. How can that happen? I've been fighting for them for 4 yrs.

A: You’ll have to file a written motion for contempt, serve it on everyone and see if they will let you appear by zoom. If not, you will have to come in person.
