Greetings,
I am sorry to hear what has happened. Can you clarify if you have a court-appointed attorney and if you have already had a court date/hearing since the child was placed with the grandmother?

Greetings,
Welcome to Just Answer. My name is ***** ***** I am one of the attorney experts here at Just Answer.
Firstly, I am sorry to hear you are dealing with a legal issue, but certainly, I will do my best to assist with any questions you have at present. Please note that I generally ask a few clarifying questions to understand and assess your specific legal question at present.
I look forward to working with you regarding your initial question and await your subsequent response to get started in our conversation.

I am sorry to hear what has happened, essentially either your attorney would have to raise any arguments/defenses in court at the next hearing date to challenge the social worker(s) involved or file any type of motion prior to the January date to try and get this case heard sooner.
Edward, Expert
You would have to make the argument in your 388 petitions as to what circumstances have changed since the removal of your child that requires the court to consider your petition. Otherwise, you can file an emergency petition if you believe your child is at risk of abuse or neglect.
Edward, Expert
You would have to present the grounds of your emergency petition with some form of evidence to support an emergency petition, otherwise, your petition will not be granted, especially since the child was just recently removed and placed with a family member.
