Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Re: Concernd parent worried about my child.

You need to contact an attorney immediatly. If you cannot afford one, you need to contact the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the police department to have your child removed from that situation immediatly. There are too many issues in your situation for me to address without more information. After you have contacted the police and DHS, you will need to see an attorney.

Re: Concernd parent worried about my child.

If what you are saying is true, there is a very strong argument that the child child is being neglected, if not abused. You should call local authorities such as the department of children services and the police. Also, consider filing a dependency and neglect petition in the juvenile court and seeking an order of protective custody. You do not have to be a legal parent to seek such an order. Best of luck to you and your child.
