Customer: I have a grand-son who is under oranga tamariki care and protection and would like to apply for visiting rights for my son (the dad). He is not on the birth cert but we as the paternal grand-parents wer contacted by oranga tamariki to attend the fgc.
JA: What steps have the son and the father taken? Has he filed any papers in family court?
Customer: No he is being released from jail this week and I want to know wat his options are as far as visiting his son goes
JA: The Family Lawyer will be able to walk you through that. Family law varies by state. What state is he in?
Customer: New Zealand
JA: Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?
Customer: Maternal family have a history a mile long with oranga tamariki. My son has served 6 months for aggravated robbery but now realizes he has a responsibility to change for his son. Mum is a teen mother our first fgc plan we put in place stuff that they both had to do. I know she hasn't done none of those things and oranga tamariki have not made her do them either so the purpose of the fgc was to me a waste of time. I am concerned for my grand-son on the understanding she is a young mum, knows nothing about being a mum, does not have good role models, she drank alcohol and did drugs when she was pregnant. She moves her son from house to house and during civil lock down she traveled around different towns with my grand-son at not quite 2mths old.
