I’m going to trial to get my son back from DCF, his mother abused him, and I’ve been trying to get him back ever since does anybody have any tips for me for Home visits with DCF or what they look for or any little advice I’ll take it!
Rooting for you man. The system is broken a lot of the time but documenting everything and staying involved like you are makes a difference.
Stay strong. Your son needs you and it sounds like you're fighting for him. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need support through this.
Been through co-parenting battles myself and it's brutal, but staying calm and focused on what's best for your kid is what matters. Get a good family law attorney if you can and don't miss any scheduled visits or court dates.
Wishing you all the best with this. That's a tough situation but it sounds like you're doing everything right for your son. Hang in there.
Pulling for you man, that's a tough situation but you've got this. Make sure you're documenting everything and staying consistent with visits and communication. The courts want to see you're stable and present for your son.
Rooting for you man. That's a brutal situation. The home visits are a good sign that the court is taking your case seriously. Stay strong through the process.
Rooting for you man. Stay strong through this process. Make sure you're taking care of yourself too so you can be there for him when he comes home.
This is hard stuff. Make sure you have support around you - whether that's a good lawyer, therapist, or just friends who get what you're going through. You've got this.
Keep your head up. Those visits are your chance to show DCF that you're capable and present. Every interaction matters.
This takes real courage brother. Is there support through any dad groups in your area? Sometimes having people who get it helps during the heavy stuff.
That's a really tough situation and I respect what you're fighting for. Wishing you the best in court. Your son is lucky to have a dad who won't give up.

I can't imagine what you're going through. Make sure you have a good lawyer and document everything during those home visits. The caseworker needs to see you being the stable, responsible parent.
