Juvenile Court/DCFS

When the State of Utah believes that a child has been abused, neglected or is dependent, the Utah State Division of Child and Family Services (“DCFS”) will bring an action in Juvenile Court to try to provide state services to the family to address issues that exist or, in cases where services are not appropriate or DCFS recommendations are not followed, to terminate parental rights. 

If you are a parent that needs services to defend yourself in a DCFS action in juvenile court or a third party involved in the case, we have the knowledge and experience to protect yourself and your children in these cases.
