[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 638663, member: 13542"] I don't know if they will contact you or not, PG, since the baby is safe with you there may not be a reason for them to immediately get involved. But, I don't know. As GM said, they'll find you if they need to. Doesn't seem as if you need to involve them. I did all the paperwork myself, got it to the court and paid the small amount of money and submitted the paperwork. I was told that temporary guardianship is awarded to keep the child safe. That seems obvious in your case. A court date was set, I appeared and was granted temporary guardianship. That all happened pretty quickly. It was the permanent guardianship which took a lot more legal wrangling and time. But, in your case, I would imagine it would be pretty cut and dry, the mother is in jail. Do you know how long she will be in jail? I know this is monstrous for you PG, but later on, when your daughter is back out, and you have figured out how to get Connor under your umbrella, it may serve you to have this all under your belt with the knowledge you're about to gain and understand. Not to minimize the stress and horror of what you're going through now, but later when the dust settles, it may put you in a better position to protect Connor should this kind of behavior continue. Just some thoughts............I know how hard this is on you............ [/QUOTE]
