Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?

In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.

it depends on what you did. Lets say you do it again when you do have custody will it affect the life of your child? *** In short yes. A ruling judge will reivew past criminal convictions to determin the chance of additional disruptions in the ability to provide care to the child. The court will ask questions like: Does the conviction impact your ability to gain employment or housing? Does your conviction threaten the safety of the child? However, the impact of a past conviction may not be that great if it will not affect your ability to care for the child.
