Georgia DFCS case
Hey ****! Could you share a bit more detail about your situation with Georgia DFCS? Are you dealing with a custody issue, a case involving child welfare, or something else? This will help me provide the most relevant information.
My kids are in foster care and I was informed today Thursday that my scheduled visit for Saturday will not happen due to the foster parents taking my kids out of town in which I was not notified about.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Georgia, certain rights are provided to parents regarding visitation. Here are a few things to consider:
- Parents generally have the right to reasonable visitation unless restricted by the court.
- Foster parents should notify the caseworker of any changes in the visitation schedule.
- You can contact your caseworker or the DFCS office to address this issue.
Would you like more detailed information or assistance with taking further action?
the caseworker is the one who notified me that my court ordered visit is canceled due to foster parents taking my kids out of town, so contacting her would not be a solution in this matter, my rights have not been restricted by the court it is ordered to be every sat same time and place. I am supposed to still have rights to make decisions regarding my kids so how do I address this issue
