layla i am not familar with australian cases, but i think you have long hard road ahead of you. you probably already knew that. from experience with them, i think they are trying to blame your husband for not knowing or they think he has put you up to taking the blame. when i dealt with them, they w...

you are right about me assuming you were female. i will no longer make that assumption. the main reason i think all those things matter is EMPATHY. a social should be able to empathize with the parents and children. when someone joins this site, they are in most cases at their wits end. the feel the...

cam i am from georgia too, from all my research fulton county is one of the worst counties in georgia. Doesnt dee simms run that office now? you should really check her out. also, read a few articles about the office there. there is one about dfacs workers covering a felony for a fellow caseworker. ...

i contacted our state's attorney general office, i got a generic letter about the situation. the odd thing is that they made a mistake and attacked another letter addressed to another woman going through a similar thing. i thought it was really unprofessional for that to happen. i also wrote a panel...

there is no way of telling. the best person to ask about the couple or single thing is a lawyer representing both you and your wife. talk to them and run scenarios by them. you have to find someone though who knows how to play with them and you have to play with them too. if you in fact are innocent...

another thing you need to know is your wife's lawyer will throw you under the bus...she will paint you guilty to make her case to get the kids back to your wife and anything that she says will be part of the permenant record, so be prepared. that will mean anytime you go in front of the judge he wil...

do you have other children? why i ask that is they will base it on a history, with no other children they cant establish a pattern of abuse nor can you establish there is no abuse. each state often works differently. In Georgia where i am from, juvenille court orders work like this. if your wife get...

there are alot of factors to weigh in about this. some have to do with the location where you are at, the reputation of the county, if any children have died recently because of abuse. also it is based on your criminal history. do you have a history of domestic or assualt charges? your age will also...

you can revoke your signature from these forms by filling out a form, i have seen it on this sight, but i am not sure where it is. from now on when you sign a form like this, you just simply put under duress at the end of your name, if the caseworker doesnt like that you simply state that what she i...
