How Our Process Works

DCF will interview family members, visit your home, and review medical or school records. You have the right to legal representation during this process, and your attorney can help you respond to questions and provide evidence that supports your case.
What happens during a DCF investigation?
A substantiated finding can lead to custody restrictions, supervised visitation, or removal if the court determines the child is at risk. Your attorney will challenge inaccurate findings and present evidence that demonstrates your ability to provide safe care.
Can I lose custody due to a DCF finding?
A neglect petition is a formal court filing alleging a child has been harmed or is at risk due to inadequate care, supervision, or living conditions. These cases require immediate legal response and thorough documentation to protect your parental rights.
What is a neglect petition?
Juvenile court focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, with options including counseling, community service, and educational programs. Your attorney will advocate for interventions that support your child's development and future opportunities.
How does juvenile court differ from adult court?
You can refuse entry without a warrant or court order, though cooperation may be necessary to avoid escalation. Contact an attorney immediately if DCF visits your home so you understand your rights and obligations before making statements.
