Question: I live with my grandmother in Maine but my father has custody of me and he lives in Arizona. He does drugs, how can my grandmother get custody of me?

Answer: In cases of child abuse or neglect, the Arizona Department of Economic Security Child Protective Services division is responsible for protecting the safety of a child.

Arizona law requires certain persons who suspect that a child has received non-accidental injury or has been neglected to report their concerns to CPS or local law enforcement (ARS §13-3620.B). There is a toll free Arizona Child Abuse Hotline at 1-888-SOS-CHILD (1-888-767-2445).

For situations that do not necessairly involve abuse or neglect of a child, you should seek the advice of a certified legal professional. There may be some resources in your community where you can get free or discounted legal advice.

On 04/17/02 TAT from AZ said: I lived with my grandma my whole life. My Dad's in and out of jail. My mom is inovled with another man and has two children with him. I dislike him very much therefore I do not lived with my mom. My mom wouldn't dare to take me away from my grandma. Because she loves me so much. I would hate her for doing it. Jessia tell your Dad that you love and that you will give it a chance. At least try. I did it and I know you can. That you know if you can handle it or not.
