Challenge a DCFS FindingDivorce can reshape a family’s financial future. A settlement or decree may determine how a home, business, retirement account, debt, or other property is divided.
Our attorneys help clients evaluate alimony, child support, property division, and contested financial issues while pursuing reasonable settlement options and preparing for litigation when needed.
Custody cases affect children’s daily routines, school arrangements, healthcare, and time with their parents.
Utah courts consider the best interests of the child when deciding custody. We help clients evaluate legal and physical custody, parenting schedules, modifications, relocation, and enforcement issues.
Some of the most rewarding family-law matters involve formalizing a parent-child relationship that has already developed over time.
Stepparent adoption allows a qualifying spouse to become the legal parent of a stepchild through a court proceeding.
The process may require parental consent, notice to interested individuals, background checks, and court approval. Contested cases may also involve disputes over termination of parental rights.
Rogers & Russell helps families understand the requirements, prepare the necessary legal documents, and address disputes that arise.
When Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services becomes involved with your family, the legal process is different from an ordinary divorce or custody case.
DCFS matters can involve investigations, safety plans, emergency removal, shelter hearings, reunification requirements, and Juvenile Court proceedings.
In some cases, the State may seek orders that substantially affect custody or parental rights. Understanding the allegations and court procedures is essential.
Our firm handles Utah child-welfare and Juvenile Court matters involving DCFS.
Tell our office your next hearing date when contacting us. Emergency child-welfare proceedings may involve very short deadlines.
A DCFS investigation may result in a supported finding of abuse or neglect. That finding may have consequences even when no child was removed from the home.
If you receive a Notice of Agency Action, you may be able to challenge the supported finding through an administrative hearing. The available procedure depends on the notice and any related Juvenile Court findings.
DCFS administrative hearing requests generally must be made within 30 days after service of the notice, subject to applicable procedures and exceptions.
