Federal Lawsuit Against DHS

[BellasMom06]

There was a story months ago about a father who filed a Federal Lawsuit against the Department of Human Services, his name was Stooksberry or Stansberry. Does anyone have a link to that story, or an update.
Thanks,

Check the records with the US District Court about it.  They will have a case number if there is one.

I believe the guy you are referring to is, would you believe, an attorney, based in Chattanooga...I remember reading the article.  I think his suit was against the Child Support Court....I can't remember all the details.
