This is a guide by the American Bar Association written as a basic introduction for attorneys representing parents in CPS cases. It shows why some lawyers handle a case the way they do.
The info can be used, to a degree, to "watch over" your lawyer, you'll see what he's suppose to do.

co- guardianship or permanent guardianship?
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but, my friend was given the option to give her mother permanent guardianship over her daughter. Their reason for offering this is to end the states involement in the case. They said that permanent guardianship wouldnt take the mothers rights away, but rather left the grandmother in charge of the outcome. Meaning, when she got her in life in order that the grandmother could give her child back. Is this true? Would co-guardianship serve better? Which would still allow the mother to raise her child and to have her child live with her just with the grandmother helping/acting as the other parent?
Is this cps saying this or is the court saying it?

This is not legal advice;hopefully wisdom
To put it in simple terms…when the authorities ARE the perpetrators and the perpetrators ARE the authorities, there is no earthly justice or recourse, at the end of the day (unless the American people wake up).
Therefore, those who have achieved the highest levels of power seek to ‘enjoy’ the most grievous and extreme injustices. For many of those in the highest circles of power, the greatest statement of power is to perpetrate the greatest possible injustice…the savage, brutal traumatization and abuse of an innocent child.

Best PDF I've read in awhile. I read the first half. Very good read for any parent who currently has a lawyer. Don't just think about reading it. Read it. Make sure your lawyer does his/her own investigations and supeonas the right people. So on and so forth.

Your Mom can file a petition directly with the Juvenile Court for custody.
Who currently has "legal" custody of the children? You, your in-laws, or Child Welfare?
If you don't know, call the juvenile court and ask them. Have you been to court?
