General Power of Attorney for Care and Custody of Child Form

Now, I don’t want to be cruel, but you posted this under your real name, and the first result for your name is a news article about this incident, which provides details.2 children removed from Middletown home after woman overdoses(I’m not vouching for this news agency, but proceeding on the facts there because they match what you’ve posted elsewhere here on Quora).According to the article, police were called on 11/6 for an overdose and found Lindsey Floyd being held in the doorway by a man who was trying to open her airway. That man had called 911 after finding Floyd unresponsive in the bathroom. Police found an otherwise-unsupervised five year old in the home. Police also indicate they found a syringe in the bathroom , and later found a pill, and mirror with what appeared to be powdered .Police also indicate they found another syringe, with crystal . This is consistent with your comments about this being a relapse-OD.The article then identifies a person with your name (and apparently your story, so I’m assuming it’s you but please correct me if I’m in error) as the mother of the child, who told police she’d been trying to leave because of excess drug use. You apparently left your five year old there because you didn't have a car seat. At some point, you were arrested, and charged with child endangering and obstruction, both criminal charges, while Floyd was charged with drug-related offenses and child endangering.To be clear: your children (if that’s you) have been taken because you do have a court date, as records for case 18CRB04340-A show that you’re scheduled for a disposition date on 1/4/2019 at 10am. You also appear to have been charged before (in an incident where you interfered with a repossession of your car), though I’m unclear if you were convicted. You voluntarily left your five year old in the care of a drug addict. I’m not an Ohio attorney, but Ohio law allows (under 2151.414) the removal of a child for abuse/neglect, drug-induced incapacity, abuse/neglect of another child in the home, and a number of other reasons which would also apply here. It sounds like that’s whats happened here.You need to talk to your criminal defense attorney (records indicate that’s someone named Cynthia Bradenburg), and get an attorney to assist with the child neglect aspects in particular. The State’s interest in protecting your children from your situation is valid, and given how close your five year old just came to dying, it’s not an imaginary situation.[Edit: I looked your name up on Middletown’s municipal court records, and if these records are yours, it’s worrisome. I’m seeing convictions for disorderly contact, drugs, DWIs, resisting arrest, not to mention pending charges for identity theft. Please, think of your children, and work with your lawyers to fix your life while letting CPS make sure they’re in a safe home. A home where someone overdoses, leaving a five year old to fend for himself, is not a safe home.]

Courts will side with what's best for the child: uprooting a child from an environment s/he has known since birth just because a biological parent woke up to their responsibilities is not a good enough reason.For a child it will be same as being taken away by a complete stranger.It is the definition of breaking morality and ethics.The "missing" parent would have to provide a case (a rather compelling one) of why they've been invisible all these years - and if the reason is incarceration (for committing a crime), then almost everything will be against this parent.Even if this person gives enough information to be considered as a potential custodian, there will be a court-appointed supervisor who will oversee the court scheduled visits - what if the child just can't be around this person? If that person - the biological parent - would not be able to prove that they can either hold a job or provide food/shelter to the child, then regardless of their biological relationship, the child is still better elsewhere, and it would be highly unreasonable to pluck the child out of their own familiar environment to compensate for someone's misguided yearning to be a parent.

I worked for two and a half years at a transitional program for juveniles aging out of foster care or being released from corrections. We simply need more funding for aftercare so these kinds of programs can hire adequate staff and continue the wonderful work they do. Funding is the biggest issue.

The hospital steps in as a temporary guardian for someone legally incompetent. This is not uncommon; the procedures are wel known. The staff social worker usually coordinates matters.

I have been happily married for 34 years. And I don’t come from a happy home. So I had to sort out what kind of relationships I wanted and what made them work on my own.My opinion is that love is not enough. It is just the start. To survive living together for decades kindness is number one. Be kind to each other. Two, have the same views on money. If one of you is a spendthrift and one a saver, you will have a cause of friction all your life together. Three, if you don’t have the same religious or belief system, talk it out. If you can’t come to an acceptance, separate. In other words, don’t start a relationship with the seeds of unhappiness or discord already sown.You are apparently asking this question because you are unhappy. So why are you asking Quora and not your man? Why aren’t the two of you sitting down and discussing how unhappy you feel?I am married. I wanted to stand up in public and say, this is my mate, the man I will spend my life with. Doing that mattered to me. I have friends, just as happy and settled as we are who never did that. One of them went through a horrendous divorce and will never marry her current partner though they have been together for years and love each other deeply. Others don’t like the way marriage makes a woman a second class citizen, someone who is ‘owned’. We all have our reasons.I have not taken my husband’s name. I resent the way men are Mr as a child and as a man. They don’t advertise their marital status publicly. Why should women? We go from Miss to Mrs. I use Ms. I don’t give a fig what people think about my marital status. To me it is a private affair. Also, changing names is inconvenient and expensive. Not all nationalities change the woman’s name. It varies.If your church is important to you and you see yourself having a wedding in the future and being a ‘Mrs’ why are you with the guy if he cannot respect that? Talk to him. If you two can’t resolve this, I don’t see how you have a future together. Move on. Let him find someone who is comfortable with his views, as you do not seem to be. And look around for someone who will respect both you and your views. Good luck.

Hi, you would be notified if there was any change in the child support arrangements.  Generally, you have to make a request to change with the Texas Attorney General if you are dissatisfied with the present state of affairs and the current arrangments will continue unless you request that it changes.  If he has waived his rights to visitation, this is not usally something that can be changed by the other party.  He cannot be forced to exercise his visitation rights.  You can find out more here: Child support forms
