Re: can i sue in federal court
Congratulations on filing the 388 and getting a day in court. Even though you didn't prevail, you got them to listen to you and I'm sure they took notice of your action!! Wouldn't it be great if all CPS families filed motions like this every couple of months... sure would tie up the courts ... and maybe even make them want to handler fewer CPS cases overall due to time constraints.
Most of us don't know what exactly a 388 is. That sounds like a state form number. What is it?
I don't know what man phoned you. It wasn't anyone I'm aware of. Can you get the help of a civil rights attorney in your area, or are you committed to doing this on your own?

a 388 is a modification of a court ordered juvenile dependency case I would love any help on this civil rights case in federal court I cant remember what forms I need to get he said I need 3 forms I want to try to find a civil rights attorney but have no idea where to look
Re: can i sue in federal court
Start by looking for a civil rights attorney in the phone book. You can go to the court house you want to file in, to read cases there to see what lawyers were involved and how successful they were. They will probably have a computer database of cases; if you find one you want to know more about, you will probably be able to look at the case. That could also show you what forms were submitted to the court to start the case.

Re: can i sue in federal court
Thank you very much in your opinion do u think I have a case and would it be under a deprivation of my civil rights? sorry if im asking too many questions.
Re: can i sue in federal court
I don't know if you have a case. You would have to get an attorney's opinion on that. Maybe talk to more than one...
