What Situations Could Give Rise to a Dependency and Neglect Investigation?

Several situations are “red flags” that indicate that a child’s best interests are at risk. If your child has committed a crime, is frequently absent or late to school, if you or your partner is under investigation for domestic violence, or if you or your partner is under investigation for child abuse. Since those situations, if true, could prove to be a risk to your child’s safety or future success, the child protection agency will likely open an investigation. If you are under investigation for dependency and neglect, you need legal representation. Our juvenile rights lawyers will serve as your and your family’s advocate, focusing on what is in your children’s best interests from your perspective. Should the court find against you, we will contend for an alternative solution that keeps your child safe yet maintains your parental rights. While there are no guarantees, we will use all the tools in our legal toolbox to contend for your rights and your family’s future. Don’t wait to get legal representation. Contact our office today.
