I'm pretty sure most district courts have programs for problem kids.  I'd either inquire with the court for your area, or check with your local police department.

Call CPS (child welfare) anonymously and ask them what would be best.  \n\nYou can ask to be emancipated.  Your brother can apply to be your guardian.   You can report your father to the police or call child welfare and then ask to be placed with your brother. \n\n\nHere's info on emancipation.  I also have links below for guardianship and free legal help.\n\nGood luck.  Remember, don't let the bad influences around you drag you down.  Put yourself first and strive for your best.\n\nQuoting Florida Statutes, Section 743.015 - Disabilities of nonage; removal.\n(1) A circuit court has jurisdiction to remove the disabilities of nonage of a minor age 16 or older residing in this state upon a petition filed by the minor's natural or legal guardian or, if there is none, by a guardian ad litem.\n\n(2) The petition shall contain the following information:\n\n(a) The name, address, residence, and date of birth of the minor.\n\n(b) The name, address, and current location of each of the minor's parents, if known.\n\n(c) The name, date of birth, custody, and location of any children born to the minor.\n\n(d) A statement of the minor's character, habits, education, income, and mental capacity for business, and an explanation of how the needs of the minor with respect to food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other necessities will be met.\n\n(e) Whether the minor is a party to or the subject of a pending judicial proceeding in this state or any other jurisdiction, or the subject of a judicial order of any description issued in connection with such pending judicial proceeding.\n\n(f) A statement of the reason why the court should remove the disabilities of nonage.\n\n(3) If the petition is filed by the natural or legal guardian, the court must appoint an attorney ad litem for the minor child, and the minor child shall be brought before the court to determine if the interest of the minor will be fully protected by the removal of disabilities of nonage. The attorney ad litem shall represent the child in all related proceedings.\n\n(4) If the petition is filed by the guardian ad litem or next friend, service of process must be perfected on the natural parents.\n\n(5) If both parents are not jointly petitioning the court for the removal of the disabilities of nonage of the minor, service of process must be made upon the nonpetitioning parent. Constructive service of process may be used, provided the petitioning parent makes an actual, diligent search to discover the location of, and provide notice to, the nonpetitioning parent.\n\n(6) The court shall consider the petition and receive such evidence as it deems necessary to rule on the petition. If the court determines that removal of the disabilities of nonage is in the minor's best interest, it shall enter an order to that effect. An order removing the disabilities of nonage shall have the effect of giving the minor the status of an adult for purposes of all criminal and civil laws of the state, and shall authorize the minor thereafter to exercise all of the rights and responsibilities of persons who are 18 years of age or older.\n\n(7) The court shall consider the petition and, if satisfied that the removal of the disabilities is in the minor's best interest, shall remove the disabilities of nonage; and shall authorize the minor to perform all acts that the minor could do if he or she were 18 years of age.\n\n(8) The judgment shall be recorded in the county in which the minor resides, and a certified copy shall be received as evidence of the removal of disabilities of nonage for all matters in all courts.

Bar referral service. Call the local bar association and ask for a lawyer. Any lawyer you will get is 75% guaranteed to be a crook.\nAnd if he is not he can recommend some friends who are.\n\nP.S.\nThis reminds me of a joke:\nA Man runs over a jaywalking child in a small town and is accused of manslaughter. So he asks a Sheriff "Is there a criminal lawyer in town". So the sheriff says "Yes, but we cannot prove it yet!"

Get a new lawyer. You are going to have a long hard process ahead of you. You have to find something to pospone the termination of rights. It could be anything. The process of cps court proceedings is called substantive due process. This means that not everything is cut and dry and anything that you can bring forward that will show that you can become a competent parent or that they made a mistake in the case should hold off the parental rights trail. Also make sure you have not or do not sign away your rights to an appeal.

Ran into this problem in FL.  Was making CS payments thru the court and wwanted the same info that you do.  I was told that CS payments are not required to go direct to the child but rather to the upkeep of their environment, and, as such, they refused and the court supported their argument that they not provide proof.  Ticked me off but hey, what are you gonna do?

Get a lawyer, if your case has gone to court, get a personal lawyer! Do not use a public defender! I repeat,\nDO NOT USE A PUBLIC DEFENDER! Hire your own attorney! Public defenders are overworked and overloaded with cases, so you will not get fair representation! (been there, done that, sent a postcard!)\n\nSecondly, until you get a lawyer, do as CPS tells you. They capitalize on you breaking their rules, and they count on the fact that most of us don't know our rights or the local laws. I suggest you get educated first more than anything.\n\nIf you feel as though CPS had no grounds in taking your kids, write to the local governor or state senator. Fax it if you can, because these officails have been known to "erase" or "lose" any e-mail sent to them. \n\nJoin a kids advocay group, or women's right group, get someone to hear your plea, people are strong in numbers, and two heads are better than one! Lastly, look up this website fightcps.com , there are plenty of helpful links and forums in this website.\n\nIf all else fails, go to your local newspaper or radio station and tell your story. Write letters to Oprah or Montell if you have to. Also, knowing someone of a high rank helps, like a judge or Disrtict attorney, or even another lawyer.\n\nRemember, the more you fight CPS the more they start to back off. These people count on we as consumers to be ignorant about their procedures and bylaws!\n\nGood luck, hope this helps!

Rieschels daughter Angela is the best connected best lawyer still practicing in Buffalo.  If you can get dad, Wayne, that much to the better.  Most people hire them so if nothing else, the other side won't get them.  They are honest and good people on top of it.  They have handled my legal stuff for years.  I have lived and worked in that area and part of my job is hearing all the gossip.  I only repeat the kindly stuff and here is an example of a time when it is no chore.  If I can otherwise help contact me at oddmom3@yahoo.com   Laura Bennett
