Child Custody Rights Explained

Summary

A closed CPS investigation does not automatically return children to their parents. In Tennessee, mothers generally have rights to custody and visitation unless legally restricted. If children are in kinship care, its crucial to understand the legal documents involved, such as temporary custody agreements. Consulting a family law attorney can provide guidance on resolving custody issues and understanding your rights.
