Guardianship

Affidavit

Iowa

Asked on Jan 25, 2022

How do I get the court to continue extending my 2 year battle of custody of my children who are decendents of a meskwaki tribal member?

I am an enrolled member of the Meskwaki Nation, a federally recognized tribe in Tama Iowa and have been trying to get my children back in my care who have been removed from me 2 years back and still am fighting to get them back. MFS(Meskwaki Family Services) are trying to move forward with permanency or guardianship of my 5 kids and to be placed with their family members. I have done almost everything they required expect drop random ua's due to my busy schedule. The allegations were I was living out of my car with my kids and was under the influence of methamphetamine which are inaccurate but I have no proof to uphold my argument in court.

The first question is there a child in need of assistance case open? Also, you need to be sure to drop the random ua's since that will help your position with MSF. Are you having visits with your children?

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
