Dependent Neglect
A Respected Nashville, Tennessee, Law FirmHandling Issue Related to Dependent NeglectAllegations of abuse and neglect are easy to make, and they can cause significant problems for parents, whether or not they are true. At Cynthia J. Bohn & Associates, we have significant experience representing parents dealing with Department of Children's Services (DCS) investigations. We are committed to explaining and guiding parents through the legal process. Experienced Child Neglect LawyersCases involving child neglect and abuse can take twelve months or more to adjudicate once the state gets involved. And the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS) continues to monitor the situation for years. DCS often gets involved in cases involving dependent abuse and neglect for a variety of reasons:
The problem with these cases is they are difficult to investigate. Abuse and neglect allegations are made for a variety of reasons, and the state is obligated to investigate every report. These cases are further complicated by parents who are unfamiliar with the investigation process and children who are easily induced into making statements against their parents. Many parents do not realize that they have the right to and should seek legal representation in these matters. Our attorneys will guide you through the DCS process. We can examine the allegations and help show that they are not true. In cases where abuse happened, we can help families develop a workable plan for keeping their children. That plan may include supervised visits with children, drug or alcohol rehabilitation, or parenting classes. Our object is to help families stay together.
