West Hartford Department of Children and Families (DCF) Defense Attorneys
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) typically become involved in a case after allegations of possible child abuse or neglect. Allegations of abuse or neglect may include:
- Sex abuse
- Drug or alcohol abuse (substance abuse)
- Physical abuse
- Domestic violence
- Munchausen syndrome (where an attention seeker afflicts a child with a disease or falsely claims a medical condition or symptoms causing the child to spend much of their youth in hospitals or bed)
Neglect can include educational, mental, physical or emotional neglect.
Needless to say, an investigation by the DCF is serious, and can have serious consequences, including the loss of your children by 96-hour hold or order of temporary custody and placement on DCF’s central registry.
