The Ombudsman sent an inquiry to the MCDJFS on the man’s behalf. The response was that the children are currently in a “pending” status and cannot be removed from their mother’s case due to the expiration of her certification period. It was explained that the children will officially transition to the father’s case beginning at the first of next month.
The Ombudsman reported the reason for the delay to the father. He was grateful to learn that the transfer was in process. The Ombudsman followed-up to ensure that the transfer did take place.
