Given that SS rang you I doubt the court would have an issue with you acting in the best interest of your child.
I would say keep her, and file the C100. Make it urgent.
Your daughter is 7, she has a say but her view won't dictate this. You need to be firm and purposeful - be frank with the court and tell them that you had to do this because SS rang you and told about the drug abuse.
hi,
dont pay solicitor to fill in c100. do it yourself:
Thanks for advice! i have already filled out c100 and written a detailed statement. Just wanted a professional to go over it as im hopin to get this sorted quickly as possible. also hoping im eligible for legal aid now im not abel to work!
Do you have a court order in place already? Also is your child with you now?
No court order in place, and yes my child is with me now. I am named on the birth certificate.
