I want to get custody of my child back. He is 11 and has been with a family member for a couple of years. We had some alleged issues a couple of years ago (older child had behaviour issues) and I was told either I give up custody of younger or kids would be taken and forcibly adopted. He is unhappy and wants to come home. I am happy to have him home, older child now adult wants him home, family member is happy for him to come home. One stumbling block - Social Services. I was accused of neglect, starving my kids. Chaotic lifestyle, which was after school activities. I still have PR but I don't think I can afford legal help as I work but once CSA money, tax etc taken out I haven't got much left, certainly not for legal advice. Does anyone know if I qualify for legal aid or how can I fight SS to get him back. My take home pay is approx £850 per month. Please help.
