Question

I had a child removed from me 8 years ago at birth because he was positive for marijuana and cocaine. Since then I have been drug free and I now have a 18 month old son. A ex-room mate of mine has made false allegations against me and I ma now facing a dependency trial. Can what happened 8 years ago affect this trials outcome or does there have to be proof of the new allegations- which there is no proof because they are viscious lies

Answer

The Dependency Court normally appoints an attorney for a parent who asks. Ask your attorney.
