Tennessee Parental Rights Defense
Summary
In Tennessee, parents have a fundamental right to raise their children unless proven unfit. DCS must provide clear and convincing evidence of neglect, abuse, or inability to care for the child. This can include medical records, drug test results, witness testimonies, and expert opinions. If you believe a judge is biased, you can file a complaint with the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct. Document all interactions with DCS and the court, and seek legal advice from Tennessee Legal Aid or other pro bono services. If DCS retaliates, document everything and file a grievance. Consider requesting an expedited hearing and submitting evidence like medical records and witness testimonies to support your case.Full Conversation
