Defending Your Rights During Child In Need Of Assistance Cases
Outside of delinquency cases, one common reason children come into Iowa’s juvenile court system is in Child in Need of Assistance (CINA) cases. In these cases, the state may be involved with a family due to allegations of abuse, neglect or substance abuse. In extreme cases, the state may escalate these CINA cases to a termination of parental rights (TPR). If you are involved in a CINA or TPR case, you can count on our lawyers to defend your rights and seek to protect your child’s best interest.
We Will Fight To Help Keep Your Family Together
Department of Human Services (DHS) is the department charged with investigating allegations of child abuse or neglect in Iowa. They take all allegations of abuse extremely seriously. Unfortunately, this sometimes translates into DHS removing your children from the home based on false allegations. Some of the most common allegations that lead to a DHS-initiated investigation are:
- Physical abuse
- Neglect
- Sexual abuse
- Drug use
- Mental illness
- Parents unable to feed, clothe or shelter a child
