Q: If my parental rights were terminated can I still care for my son if his father allows it?
My parental rights were terminated by default in 2020. My son's father was given full custody. Can I still care for my son if the father allows me to? also, I have my discovery from my CPS case. There are many errors and false reports made by the case worker. I need help to get my rights back and to show that the CPS worker, in fact, made false reports. I have many witnesses, including the foster mother of my son, whom I have a very close relationship with to this day. The CPS worker was held in contempt when she moved my son against a court order. Please help. I know I have a strong case against them
A: I can't answer for specifically for you, but generally a parent with no parental rights would have the same opportunity to spend time with a child as anyone else with the permission of the parent or guardian. A petition can be filed to reverse the termination, but the chances of success are extremely low. An attorney may be willing to evaluate your situation for a fee.
