Depends on whether you were properly served with the petition for termination while you were in rehab.

He should have a right to see his children unless those right were fully taken away by a Court which is very rare. If the child is in Indiana he can either file an action where they have a prior custody or divorce action or he can hire an Indiana Attorney and file in the county where the mother... View More 
My niece was placed with me from CPS a year and 5 months ago we go to court next month CPS says they are asking for a permit placement if that happens can the biological parents get her back years later?

Possibly, but once she’s been with you six months, you stand on equal footing with the parents and that makes it much more difficult for them in the future.

Seek emancipation from the court, which is unlikely. Otherwise, plan to move as soon as you turn 18.

You can be required to pay child support whether you have contact or not. You should file a motion for return of custody in the court that took them.
I need more information into it, such as if I take it to court what do I need to prove I can be emancipated.

You’ll need to seek emancipation in the district court of the county in which you reside. Check with the district clerk and they can tell you how the judge in your county handles them.

his father, my husband passed 3 years ago and he didn't like the fact of me dating other men, not to mention he has no rules to follow there unlike here at home with his mother. So he doesn't want to come home. Can they legally terminate my rights and take custody of my child... View More
answered on Mar 31, 2021
No. Make him come home, live with you and follow the rules. They have no basis to terminate your parental rights nor should you ever give them custody.
My child's father gets visitation but he texts me almost daily and gets mad when I don't respond. I dont want to talk to him if I don't have to
answered on Mar 31, 2021
Unless there is a need to discuss the child, you don’t have to text or communicate with him at all.
If my mother doesnt bother asking me to come home can she get me into legal trouble if she lets me move out before im 18??
answered on Mar 31, 2021
Either you’re there with her permission or you’re not. If you’re there with her permission, you won’t get into trouble. If you’re there without her permission or against her wishes, you could get into trouble. End of story.
Im just wondering if I give my mom custody can cps stop me from. Living with my mom we share a home and the case worker said that I wouldn't be allowed to stay over night because that would be unsupervised. Im confused as to how that is unsupervised if my mom lives there too
answered on Mar 30, 2021
No, but they can remove your son from your mom if there is a risk to the child.
answered on Mar 30, 2021
Yes. As long as you return for all the court dates and comply with all the court orders.
