Johnson County Dependency Action Lawyer
Few things can be more traumatic to parents than to have a child removed from their home by the state. However, this is exactly what can happen in child in need of care (CINC) cases in Kansas.
At the law office of Weston R. Moore, Attorney at Law, in Olathe, we represent parents in child in need of care cases. These cases (also known as dependency actions) are usually initiated by police or child protection workers who suspect a child has been neglected or abused. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Before Weston Moore became an attorney, he was an Olathe police officer and patrol supervisor. He understands how child protection workers and police officers think, and how the state prosecutes these cases.
What Is a Child in Need of Care Action?
Anyone from a school teacher, to a neighbor, to a police officer can report a parent for child abuse or neglect. Once a report is made, the Kansas Department of Human Services will send a child protection investigator to your home. The investigator can bring a CINC case against you and even temporarily remove your child from your home while the civil action is pending. The Department of Human Services can also seek termination of your parental rights.
Mr. Moore can help you get your children back if they were wrongly taken from you. He can also help you take steps such as enrolling for parenting classes that will address legitimate concerns raised by the Department of Human Services.
