Removal of unborn child from me- Mothers Rights

Q: My social worker is saying that Child Youth and Family are planning to apply to the Family Court to gain custody of my unborn child. I am 25 weeks pregnant. Can they do this without me knowing about it?

A: Yes there are situations where Child Youth and Family apply for custody of an unborn child without the mother knowing about it.  Such action is a breach of natural justice and your rights.  You need a lawyer urgently to advise you on your rights and to ensure the court hears your views.  I have expertise in this field and I will help you - call me on 0800 486 267 or email me jeremy@jeremysutton.co.nz with your concerns and questions.
