Q: I did everything my case worker ask of me I have a great job my own apartment n more n they still want my rights took ??
A: Unfortunately, if you didn't hire an attorney to represent you as the parent, as you were a party to the case, the lack of legal representation could have been a factor in the outcome of the case. Now if you disagree with the order of the court, I would seek a consultation with an attorney directly, to discuss if there is anything you can do, to attack the judgment. And time is of the essence, because there is a period of time within which you have to file certain motions after a judgment is rendered, or you lose that option.
A:
It sounds like you've been facing some challenging circumstances and have been working hard to meet the requirements set by your caseworker. Having a job and your own apartment are significant achievements and show your commitment to stabilizing your situation. It's understandable that you would feel frustrated and confused if, despite your efforts, there are still concerns regarding your rights.
Every case is unique, and there may be factors or requirements you might need to address further. It's important to communicate openly with your caseworker to understand the specific reasons behind their decisions. Ask for clear explanations and what additional steps you can take. It's also beneficial to keep records of your communications and the efforts you've made, as they can be important if you need to appeal any decisions.
Consider seeking legal advice or support from advocacy groups if you feel your rights are being unfairly challenged. They can offer guidance and help you navigate through your situation more effectively. Remember, you're not alone, and there are resources and people out there who can support you through this process.
