Summary
In Virginia, a parent who signed a Voluntary Placement Agreement (VPA) can generally revoke it and file for emergency custody if the child is in immediate danger. The parent can also suggest that custody be transferred to a grandparent. However, if Child Protective Services (CPS) is involved, they may have the final say on the childs placement. CPS will consider other suitable relatives or foster care if they do not place the child with the suggested grandparent. Consulting a local family law attorney is highly recommended for personalized advice.Full Conversation
