My question involves civil rights in the State of: Tennessee.
My fiance has a dcs case with her kids father. He has temp custody at moment. I am in no way a part of why case was opened and not named on case. I was told by an attorney to not disclose anything about criminal history without a court order. A couple of property theft for felonies from a few yrs back in MA came back. They are now saying i cant be around kids due to that and the fact that I "lied" about my background. They administered the background without my consent and a court order. With it being my right to not disclose can they legally hold that against me since I was exercising my rights? And is that basis for me to sue them. They say I have no rights because I'm not the father, yet they seem to be attacking me without court order and consent.
