I lost custody of my two children to CPS foster care earlier this year, and have recently discovered I am pregnant.. what are the chances I will get to keep this child? The living situation, and overall situation is completely different from before.

She’s in her senior year this year, so I am still responsible for her attendance. I don’t know what my legal standings are though. Some authorities say she’s considered an adult now because of the baby and her age, but others say she’s still a minor and under my authority. So I’m confused... Read more »
She is still a minor and still under your authority. Take the police and go get her.
Can a domestic violence protection order be reduced by judge?
I am not sure what you mean by reduced. If a DVO has been ordered with the provision of no contact a judge can amend that order allowing for nonviolent contact.

They can request you be ordered to do that but only the judge can order you to do it.
They are VERY UPSET and they keep screaming and yelling at her EVERYDAY. They tell her to leave, but when she tries, they won’t let her. It’s very toxic for the baby and she is going to be 18 in 2 weeks. Can I go get her legally since they repeatedly kick her out and are verbally abusive daily?
Go get her and have the drama delivered to your house or wait the two weeks and then go get her. Once stt Hy es 18, there’ll be no more talking.
Both parents.
In ky the UPA aka Paternity Act gives district court the ability to decide child custody and visitation dispute concurrent with Circuit court. KRS 406.051 (2). So why does ky lawyers and judges refuse to acknowledge district court concurrent jurisdiction in child custody dispute?
Bc its usually the same court and same judge.
KRS 403.800(3) defines visitation as a child custody determination, so do KY lawyers and judges refuse to admit this? They all conclude visitation is not an initial Custody determination. However other states like Texas, Arkansas Tennessee Ohio among others all conclude visitation is an initial... Read more »

Yes. Marriage emancipated the minor child when permission is given.
The case is 18 months old, the adjudication date is late August, my lawyer seems to be working for them not me, and refuses to actually argue the case in my defense. And the father (who is living with us and has since she was born) is not a party to the case ....
Most likely no.
