Reinstate Dcs In Custody
Summary
In Tennessee, to involve DCS in a custody case, gather evidence of child welfare concerns and contact DCS directly. If the biological mother has a suspended license, report it to DCS and consider filing a petition for visitation modification. Adoption and termination of parental rights can be pursued pro se, but legal aid is recommended. Driving with a suspended license can lead to arrest, fines, and additional penalties.
