Even if you are not approved as a foster care provider and if you are nominated in Juvenile Court you can get a 3rd party custody through a 72-hour hearing or temporary custody hearing. You can file for guardianship in Juvenile Court, custody or an adoption through the Juvenile Court or for a grandparent visitation.
In Probate and Family Court you can apply for an emergency temporary or permanent legal guardianship even if DCF is not approving you.
