Could a lawyer protect you from child services if a parent is gone?

If your family has a lawyer and a parent leaves, and child services wants or has come for a teen (under 18), can they somehow allow them to live on their own without dealing with child services or another family member?Could a lawyer protect you from child services if a parent is gone?
They can only operate within the current statutes of law on the books where you live concerning the welfare of minor children. There will be no mercy. A judge can only operate within the law. Feelings and opinions have no weight in these cases. If a lawyer can prove that you are competent enough to be emancipated as an adult, however, you may have a chance, but you will probably have to be at least 16 years old in order to qualify for this.Could a lawyer protect you from child services if a parent is gone?
You are most welcome. My prayers are with you.

No, if you have no parent, you will be placed in foster care. A lawyer can't change that, nor can he act on your behalf without a parent agreeing. Without a parent, child services will become your guardian, and they will not agree to the lawyer fighting for any other situation.
