I need assistance to fpetition to the FL 7th Circuit Family Court Judge to request a Regulation 7 ICPC expedited VT home study.
I established a FL residence in February 2024 and was going to be fingerprinted after a successful home study to become a guardian for my 4 grandchildren.
Once CPS and DCF merged and some of the divisions became privatized, all the caseworkers changed and DCF never completed my home study process. They ignored all my voice and emails.
I apprised the family court judge in Jan2024 that I have Native American as well as African American ancestry along with my four grandchildren.
I am retired and cannot afford an adoption lawyer. I have started a motion to the family court judge pro se, I need a pro bono Family lawyer to review the petition.
The other side of the family is in process of an intervention adoption which will allow them to circumvent the DCF system and place the children back into the hands of the father who has an outstanding FL warrant for assaulting a pregnant person and has battered one child in the womb resulting in my youngest grandchild being born with special needs and needing 3 brain surgeries. They have money for expensive lawyers.
Is there a Florida non profit organization / Law Scool that can help me with the legal side of this besides Legal Aid.
Thank you for any or all suggestions/replies.
