Temporary Custody Visitation Rules

Summary

The Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in Georgia can impose visitation restrictions based on the childs safety when a child is placed in temporary custody. The temporary guardian must adhere to these conditions. Even if a family member, like a 15-year-old brother, disagrees with the restrictions, compliance is mandatory until the court modifies the order. For a detailed understanding, consulting a local family law attorney is advisable.

But my brother is fifteen and can speak for himself
While your brother's age and ability to speak for himself is important, the court and DFCS's primary concern is the child's safety. Even if your brother is against these restrictions, he must comply until the court modifies the order.
