    How Does an Out-of-State Parent Get Custody of Child in Care of State
    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Georgia
    My four year old son was taken out of his mother's home in Georgia due to uncleanliness and a dependency on prescription drugs. There have been two hearings on this case so far both of which I have been at in Georgia (I live in Colorado). In the first hearing I was told that I could not have custody because I relocated to Colorado. In the second hearing it was said that they would give me full custody if I lived in Georgia because if they moved him to Colorado they would not be able to know whether he had case plan or if I was sticking to that case plan. Is this right? In both of the hearings so far they have kept my son in the custody of the state. I have done all I know to do to prove that I can give my son a stable loving home and I want him with me more than anything. I just don't know if it's right to deny me my son because I live in another state?

    Is it legal? Yes.

    Is it right? Honestly, it doesn't matter.

    First though, is there a reunification plan?

    Have Mom's rights been terminated?

    What is the background here? When and how was your paternity established? Didn't you ever obtain custody rights to the children, even if as a non-custodial parent? Did you relocate to Colorado after the Georgia proceedings began?
