Hello Victoria Westra, how can I assist you with your legal issue today?
The court terminated my parental rights and court ordered child support. They are with a foster family. I had my attorney file an appeal but it was just denied. Im in the process of getting a place with a friend because my husband is the issue but my attorney says she cant file another appeal and thats there is nothing left to do.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Victoria. Could you please tell me which state you're in? This will help me provide relevant legal information.
