What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I have a girlfriend who lost her child due to a DUI (child was in the car at the same time). She has done everything to a T to get her back. The temporary foster parents were the mothers aunt and uncle. The foster parents were very uncooperative giving the child back. Kept telling the mother it's in the daughters best interest to stay with us etc... Finally the state department of child affairs had to get a emergency court order and had to have the child removed from their house. They were prepared for a sheriff to accompany the counselors but it didn't come to that as their foster parents get kind of freaked out with anything involving police or law enforcement. She has a full time job and can support herself and her daughter without any help from anyone else. Her license is still suspended it should be noted but lives within walking distance to/from work so it's a mute point. School for the child is the same in terms of being able to walk to it. The aunt and uncle are now taking her to court for parenting time and she is worried that a court order is going to be issued and she is going to have more legal trouble. Her aunt and uncle have created unwanted problems for her and thus now she is scared because she doesn't want her daughter going back over to their house where she is going to likely talk about my girl to her daughter as they've done before.
My question to any attorneys out there is will a judge grant a great aunt and uncle parenting time for a child they were temporary foster parents for?
