    Finding Info on a DHR case
    How would I go about getting information on a child being removed from a parent's custody through DHR? Can I even do that?

    Depends on the state and your relationship to the case/child/parent losing custody.

    It is in Alabama & the person wanting information is the child's parent. Do you know how this could be done?

    The parent should be able to visit their office (do not call or email) and speak to a case worker that would be able to give them any relevant details... unless that was the parent losing custody. Then the parent would likely need a lawyer.

    Ok thanks, He is the father,He's never had custody. The mother lost custody to the child through the DHR but she now has custody of the child again. He is trying to get his rights to the child and he doesn't know what happened with the DHR.

    If the mother has custody again, it should be a simple matter of going back to family court and requesting his visitation rights.

    Im familiar with your other thread. The advice is sound and remains the same... get a new lawyer - one who is actually willing and able to address the whole situation.

    Okay,thanks. =) He has spoken with one & will be meeting her for a consult next week. She wants all information & any evidence he has. Should he include some of the conversations with her in which she has been lying about her "changed" lifestyle or where she admitted that she's never wanted him to see the child?

    Give her everything - regardless of relevance. It's the lawyers job to sift through it all and determine what is salient and what is not.

    Okay thanks. His lawyer before did not do her job very well. She did not even help him to find out if he had an order for child support or not. She gave his case papers she had pulled off the computer & told him to go look them up! I am hoping that this new lawyer can help him out this time.

    Okay,since I brought up the subject of child support... How can he find out if he does owe support? The case papers she gave him showed an order being placed but then
    "Court action disposed by dismissall with out prejudice"
    "c001(mother) disposed by dismissall with out prejudice"
    "d001(father) disposed by dismissall with out prejudice"
    "order"
    "notice sent to plaintiff attorney"

    Does this mean that the order was dropped? He can't find any record of the support through the DHR. This is in Alabama. Does any one know how he could find out for sure?

    Looks to be like the case was dismissed and no order entered. You might check if Alabama has rules that all support go through DHR. Some states do that.

    But if no one has come after him for support its unlikely it was ordered.

    The mother swears he owes child support but she isn't very credible. She says the case was through the DHR but DHR has no current record of it. I have e-mailed her & asked her for the case number but I doubt she will give it to me.

    Tell her your son will be happy to pay support if she presents an order that indicates how much he has to pay and to whom.

    It's my brother actually. =) & He has told her time & time again. She always says that he's never paid child support but she has never given him a way too. He used to give her money but that never was reported.

    Whoops, sorry. This thread has been going on for awhile so I forgot. The relationship. I would suggest that his attorney send her a letter stating what I said so its on the record.

    Well we've been on the phone all day,trying to find some type of support. He has to call the main Alabama DHR at 3 & see what they have to say. I am starting to think he doesn't owe anything but we'll see.

    Okay guys, my brother has spoeken with every one through the DHR & he owes no child support at all. When I e-mailed the mother & asked her if he did owe & how he could find out information, this is what she said to me...

    "6 years of not being there and not paying nothing is plenty enough WE dont need anything else
    !the only time he has ever seen him was when I tried 2 make it work HE has NEVER EVER tried on his own free will 2 do anything!WE know the case exsists and thats all that matters.I have even looked it up and it shows NO Payments EVER!!I would not show up online if he didnt owe anything LOL
    SO try your lies with some one else!!!!!
    ....WHEN we go 2 court you and I will then see who lied about the child support.
    you and I have no reason 2 talk so do not email me again..none this has anything 2 do with you.If any of it was really that important,you wouldnt be the one emailing."

    Immature, yes? My question is could she be telling the truth or is that just ridiculous talk? All Alabama cases go through the DHR. And even if he does, can she even try to use that against him,when she is clearly witholding information about it?

    The state of Alabama has confirmed that my brother owes no child support whatsoever. The mother is swearing that she "made a call" to prove herself but the DHR said he doesn't owe a dime unless she filed in another state. So I will give everyone an update after he meets with his lawyer! Thanks for all the advice, everyone!
