Helping Clients Work With Child Protective Services
Tragic situations arise every day where a child is left without parents that are able to properly care for him or her, or are removed by Child Protective Services from a dangerous environment only to become wards of the state. The best kind of care for a child comes in a loving home environment, and people regularly answer the call to assist with the life of a child.
In dependency cases, when the state obtains legal custody of children, the parties and the court must decide where to place the children. Working with the state and the juvenile courts, the law office of Judith A. Morse, P.C., can help you become a placement option for a child in Phoenix, Arizona.
A Plan That Puts a Child in Your Home
A petition for dependency seeks to make a child the ward of the state, but allows you to become the placement or the home for the child. Most commonly this comes as a result of:
- Abandonment
- Neglect
- Parental Death
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- A Parent’s Mental Illness or Deficiency
- Drug or Alcohol Abuse
- Parents Being Sent to Prison
This is the time that the people who have been a part of a child's life, whether an aunt, a grandparent or a family friend, can step forward and open up their home to a child in need.
Family law attorney Judith Morse has been working on behalf of clients for more than two decades, and has built the experience and knowledge base to be an effective advocate for people who want to intervene on behalf of a child.
