Arizona Juvenile Law
Arizona Juvenile Dependency Attorney
Being part of a juvenile dependency case can feel unsettling, especially when you’re unsure about your options or how the process works. Under Arizona law, a Child is dependent when it is determined by the Court that the child is in need of effective care and control when parents aren’t able or are unwilling to provide it.
We represent parents and legal guardians in these matters to preserve the best interest of the child(ren). If the Department of Child Safety or a private petitioner has filed a dependency petition against you, we can help protect your rights and be the legal counsel you need.
Guardianship
An interested party may petition for Title 8 or Title 14 guardianship of a minor child. Our attorneys can walk you through the rights and responsibilities of each and the steps necessary to petition the court.
Termination of Parental Rights
Before an initial hearing on a Private Petition for Termination of Parent-Child Relationship, there are several documents to be submitted and consequences to consider. The court will focus on what’s best for the child(ren), and we will support you in achieving that.
Juvenile dependency can be quite complex and can result in termination proceedings. We’re here to explain your options and guide you on a path toward protecting your parental rights and optimal solutions for your child(ren). Get in touch with our attorneys today.
