- Q. I am a minor at 17, and I want to see my mom that lost custody. I know she is clean and doing well can I see her?
- A: This is a difficult issue. When you are 18 you will be able to make any decision that you would like. However, the court has found that it is in your best interest to be with your father at this time. Therefore, you may want to discuss the issue of communicating with your mother with your father primarily. It may be the easiest solution. Family law dynamics are so intricate and open communication is most often the best way to address concerns.
I hope the above answer is helpful.
Good luck to you.
- Q. How do I contest a home study done recently in regards to our possible adoption?
- A: This is an adoption question (which is in the probate court) rather than a family law question. However, if you want to object to the home study you will want to discuss your options with an experienced adoption attorney. The court's utilize home studies in each adoption and they rely heavily on the findings of the study when making their decisions.
It is in your best interest to consult with an experienced adoption attorney who practices in the courthouse wherein your matter will be heard.
I hope the above answer is helpful.
Good luck to you.
