Colorado Springs Child Neglect Law
Keeping Kids Out of Foster Care“I want my kids back.” That’s the heartfelt plea we hear from parents who call our law office looking for help because their children have been removed from their care and they’ve been charged with child neglect by the Department of Human Services (DHS). Attorney Kate Harvey is very familiar with the workings of DHS and the way it handles child neglect and child abuse law cases. Prior to joining the Law Office of Michael J. Duncan, she worked for six years exclusively handling dependency and neglect cases. As a former guardian ad litem and County Attorney, she understands where the Department of Human Services goes right … and where the law sometimes goes wrong. Are you under investigation for child abuse because an angry spouse made false allegations in a divorce proceeding? This happens more often than you might think. Your family may be having problems right now that have made it difficult to be a good parent. There are ways to handle family problems that are less destructive of children and families than putting a child in foster care. Can your child stay with a family member or trusted friend while you work through your issues? This could be an option: we need to press the court to consider less extreme opportunities. At the Law Office of Michael J. Duncan, we defend parents who are charged with child abuse or child neglect and are facing the loss of parental rights and child custody. We understand these cases and can guide you through the process. We work hard to ensure that families are not victims of a bad administrative process. Attorney Harvey works in the 4th Judicial District Juvenile Court, and in the county courts in El Paso County and Teller County. She appears with clients for administrative hearings in the Administrative Court in Denver. She will also handle Appeals Court cases involving termination of parental rights. If your name has wrongly been placed on the central registry for child abuse, our children’s law attorney can help you appeal that decision. In those cases in which it is necessary and appropriate for the State to be involved, we press for family reunification when possible, and less restrictive alternatives that allow family relationships to be maintained and strengthened. There is a law firm that’s on your side when you’re fighting to protect your parental rights. Contact the law office of Michael J. Duncan to speak to a children’s law lawyer. Michael J. Duncan
