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

No. See O.C.G.A. section 16-11-62. While Georgia is a one-party state, requiring the consent of only one party to a telephone conversation to record that conversation, Georgia requires the consent of all parties to record a video chat (i.e. FaceTime) in a "private place and out of public...

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.

Not likely, but you may want to post in the criminal law section.

We would need to know more about your case in order to provide you with guidance. You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the case in detail and present you with the right route to address this.
I’m 17. I’m two months away from being 18. I’m moving out and teaming with a trusted friend as a roommate and I’m going back to work and I have a small business as well. I just don’t want to be at home anymore. Is there not much a policeman can do since I’m so close to being 18? I... View More

Forget emancipation. Not enough time to make that work. Until you are 18, your parents rule the roost. Should an adult help you move out before you are 18, that person could be charged with interference with custody. It's only 2 months. Focus on the positive things you should be doing... View More

Your daughter doesn't have an appeal appealable issue. She simply needs to revoke/terminate/end the guardianship in a signed writing. The Division of Family and Children Services did not initiate a petition of protection nor did they seek termination of your daughter's parental rights.... View More

You mis-posted your question as being one dealing with GA law. Still, your question is one that any attorney anywhere could answer. A person who has reached the age of 18 is NO longer a child. That person would be an ADULT. An adult can move, live, etc. wherever they choose to live. No... View More

You and/or your grandson have options. Without more information, it is hard to answer whether or not he is entitled to emancipation. You may also have grandparent custodial rights. You should seek out a lawyer knowledgable in these areas.

I'm sorry. Your question does not make sense. It is incomplete.
Specifically, mental abuse. A lot of insults, and not allowing the child to have friends or a love life (child is 16). Punishments for unusual things like accidentally making a mess with food.

You could expose yourself to being arrested for interference with custody if you take in a minor with permission of the parents. If the child needs help, you can contact authorities in your area who can investigate.
How can she do it quickly

I'm sorry, but I do not hold out much hope that she will be successful. In 31 years of practice, I have personally known of only 2 emancipations being granted. She must be able to show that she has gainful employment and can pay for everything she needs, rent, car, insurance, food, medical,... View More

You can take the step to terminate the temporary guardianship. An attorney can help you with this process.
DFAC stated they are spoiled and there isn't anything they could do they need to go home. These girls are freefall, stressed and emotionally damaged and the parents will not allow them to live with the grandparents who will make sure they focus on school and treated correctly.
answered on Mar 10, 2021
Considering DFAC is involved they should know the details of the case. If they felt there was no abuse going on then that is what is going to likely stand. At their age, they could go speak to their school counselor and see what suggestions he/she may have. Perhaps the family can get some... View More
