Collins Wentzell Cares for Your Children’s Welfare

Child welfare law relates to any matter in which the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services (CYFS) are involved with you and your children. It can range from CYFS discussing a concern that has been raised by someone about you, the child(ren) other parent or anyone else in the life of your child(ren) all the way to your children being removed from your care and placed in the care or custody of CYFS. The worst possible scenario is when CYFS seeks a continuous custody order, meaning your children would likely be placed for adoption if CYFS obtains such an order.

Child welfare law is no doubt the most emotionally charged area of law imaginable. It is very personal and all-consuming. At Collins Wentzell, we know how emotional this is. We have represented many clients over the years and we always do so with caring and empathy.
