Hi everyone, I’m seeking advice regarding my children who are currently under permanent guardianship in Washington. They were removed under dubious circumstances, and I have documentation proving the falsehoods involved in the process. I am the biological mother of all three children, and my mother currently has guardianship. After some family tragedies related to alcohol abuse, I’m worried about their well-being. I’ve been working hard to improve my situation and seek legal help. What are my chances of regaining custody? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
It sounds like you have a complicated situation. Since you have documentation of the false statements made during the guardianship proceedings, it could help your case. You should consult a family law attorney to explore your options for challenging the guardianship.
You need to act quickly if you’re considering challenging the guardianship. The longer it goes on, the more likely the court will want to keep things as they are. Document everything about your current living situation and how you’ve been a responsible parent.
Judges usually prioritize the best interests of the children. If you can demonstrate that you can provide a stable and nurturing environment, you might have a good chance of regaining custody. Just ensure you’re well-prepared with evidence.
Definitely consult with a lawyer who specializes in family law. They can help you navigate the specifics of your case and give you the best advice moving forward. Don’t hesitate to ask for a consultation with legal aid if cost is a concern.
It’s great to hear you’re focusing on improving your situation. Make sure to keep all your documentation organized, including your attendance at support groups. This will strengthen your case when you present it in court.
