I live in Northern California. My 10 y.o. daughter has lived with her mother in Arizona for the last 7 years. The child support was set in California before she left and that remains here. There was never a case to determine custody or visitation. As a result in those 7 years I have had one 2 hour visit with her. I have sent her cards, letters, birthday and Christmas presents but I do not know how many she actually recieved. Other attempts to visit with my daughter resulted in her being sent of to stay with her Great Grand Parents so that she was "Not Available".
Now I have found thru separate sources that my daughter has been taken from her mothers home by Child Protective Services in Arizona. After some 30 phone calls to 10 different offices I was able to sit in on one of the hearings concerning my daughter. Long story short, CPS wants to place my daughter with her 75 year old Great Grand Parents. Their reasons are two fold, my daughter knows them better and Arizona will be able to keep control of her future. Arizona is putting me thru a Home Study but CPS has basically told me this is a formality and they will still push to have my daughter placed with the G.G.Ps. Just wondering if anyone knows of any options I may have?
