Explanation: During court proceedings related to your child, you have the right to present evidence, testify, and have witnesses speak on your behalf.​

Legal Reference: This right is inherent in the judicial process and is supported by Alabama’s commitment to due process in child welfare cases.

🛑 Know Your Rights – Closing Statement:

💬 Your rights don’t disappear just because DHR shows up.
Knowing what you’re legally allowed to do — and what they’re not allowed to do — is your first defense against intimidation, misinformation, and wrongful actions.

📌 If you or someone you love is currently facing DHR involvement in Alabama, don’t stay silent. Document everything. Ask questions. Demand accountability.
