You have an attorney. You should be discussing any issues you have with any orders and the outcome of your case with your attorney. Another attorney can't even represent you while you have a current attorney on record. Sit down with your attorney and discuss what happened in your case.

You should get an attorney who represents parents in juvenile cases to represent you. I fear you're going to have a very hard time getting your child back representing yourself.

You need to file legitimation and custody at the same time.

Unfortunately, without knowing more facts on the basis for the TPO, we can't advise on the strength of the TPO. Her only having temporary custody would not be a restriction to filing a TPO.

I would advise you to seek a consultation with an attorney. Because no one can begin to give you advice based on the sentence you have posted on the board. Many more details are needed in order to provide an accurate response.

Reunification (getting your child back) is going to be a process. Most parents find this process a lot less frustrating when they have an attorney representing them. Without an attorney you may find social workers and attorneys for the state who do not want to communicate with you, judges who you... View More

Because the driver is under 18, he will probably need a parent to appear in Court with him. If found guilty of the offense, he may face a fine, and possible licenses suspension, possibly until he turns 18. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law.

If you leave your mother to go and live with your father without a court order, your father would technically be kidnapping if he refused to produce you back to your mother. If you want to live with your father the proper way to go about that is for your father to either file to modify an existing... View More

Correct. "No contact" means just that. It generally also means no communication by phone, internet, text message, etc. and judges and the law take violations of such orders very seriously--meaning the mom should too.
Good luck!
They have been in foster care for 18 months and talking about termination because their father is on drugs. But I have everything that was required in order for my kids to come home.
answered on Jan 30, 2023
If you are still living with the father after 18 months of your children being in foster care, the Court has likely determined that the children can't be released back into your home, if the father is not sober. There appear to be some details that have been left out if the Court is... View More

You can ask a Sheriff to go with you to where the child is located, after showing your order establishing your legal custody rights. If the Sheriff won't comply, you can swear out a warrant with a Magistrate or police for interference with custody.
If the child refuses to go with you,... View More

We cannot do anything for you because your "question" makes no sense. Try again and ask a specific question in proper question format.
My hubby showed for the TPR hearing, I did Not. Apparently, our rights WERE terminated. He didn't sign any paperwork, and, as I stated, I did not even go. Can our babies be adopted out without even our Knowledge? Also, can we adopt our own kids?!

If your rights were terminated, the children can be adopted with no notice to you.
