My s-son lives in Nv 15 years old. We live in NJ. We have Joint legal with visitation. Mom abusing him and was taken by cps to a safe haven. They have him in protective custody until full eval of mom. We want to take custody of him but we are being told he will be sent to a boys home until we file for custody and that could take 6-9 months. We were initally told he would be in this safe haven 72 hrs then released to us. Now it all changed tonight. Can they just send him to the boys home without my husbands consent or option to take him? Any advice? I know call a lawyer but in the mean time until tomrrow I need to figure out what can be done. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure what the rules are in NV.
I know here in Mass, my cousin and his wife just got custody of her nephew when the child was taken away from his drug using mom and elderly grandmother by the state. The child was in foster care for 4 days before they could get their application in to foster him. The custody fight will be ongoing.
It certainly seems bizarre that the aunt, in my case, can arrange to house the child before the father in your case. Especially with joint legal, I don't understand why you can't just go pick up the kid NOW. When is your next assigned visitation time ?
I would get a NV lawyer to assist you in pursuing this. Good luck !

Visitation is now for the summer any 4 weeks. The thing is she has possession of my husbands other son as well. They are not deeming her unfit she is telling them the boy has behavior issues. Ok so if he does let us handle it. Funny thing is he is in a safe house, we are providing him with clothes, toiletries all kinds of stuff which is not a problem, don't care about the money he needs it he went with the clothes on his back, but she is getting paid cs from us and not having to spend on him. So if he goes into a boys home, she will continue to collect from us and not have to support him, I think thats her reasoning. I told the social worker tell her to keep the money, and just sign custody over, she can have the same amt of money in cs a week don't care. He isn't even my child and I am losing my mind that he is all alone, in a facility what the hell it doesn't even bother her. Drives me crazy. thanks

Actually the cs will revert to the state to assist in paying his "living" there - she will not be able to continue to get the cs - I don't know how long it takes for this to occur but if he is there for a length of time it isn't "free" if there is a parent(s) paying a cs order only if he is in a juvi detention center is it free. You might want to look into that angle and of course an attorney would be most helpful in this particular situation.

I don't know how NV opperates, but in NJ, DYFS will always try to place the child with family before a foster home.
