Why a Resource Caregiver Should Go to Court
Here are some reasons why a resource caregiver should seriously consider attending court hearings for the child in your care.

· To provide information about the child in your care.
· To request information or services that you or the child are entitled to but that you have not been able to obtain outside of court.
· To be available to answer questions raised during the hearing about the child’s progress and needs.
· To learn the progress of the case so that you can work more effectively toward reunification, planning for permanency, or caring for the child.
· To establish credibility with the judge so that you become a valued participant in the family court process.
· Demonstrate the importance you place on caring for the child.
