Neglected and Abused Children

Tennessee Dependant and Neglected Child Attorney in Williamson County

Juvenile Court Dependant and Neglected Child Attorney Franklin TN

Filed in the Juvenile Court of the County where the child resides, a Petition for Dependant and Neglected Child is a petition, filed on behalf of the State by the Department of Children's Services that alleges that a child or children are living in an unhealthy and unsafe household. The Petition seeks to remove the children from the custody of the parent, parents or care giver and to place the child with the other parent, grandparent, family member or foster care. A Dependant and Neglected child Petition may also be filed by a parent, grandparent, family member or other concerned third party with the help of an experienced attorney. Lawyers who practice routinely in Juvenile Court should be familiar with the process and should be able to very quickly file a Petition for Dependant and Neglected Child and ask the Court for a Temporary Restraining Order which temporarily, but immediately removes the neglected child or children from the custody of the offending parent. John M. Milazo of the Franklin, Tennessee Law firm, Milazo Law P.C. has helped many parents, grandparents and other family members, file these emergency petitions and has helped families be granted many Restraining Orders that immediately remove an abused or neglected child from the custody of an abusive or neglectful parent.

Child Neglect Attorney Franklin, Williamson County Tennessee

Drug addicted parents often cannot take care of their children and allow them to live in an unhealthy and unsafe environment. In other situations, the physical or mental health of a parent may deteriorate to a point where proper parenting cannot occur. This often occurs without malicious intent, but it still has a negative impact on the child. In these dangerous situations, it is the responsibility of the child or children's other parent, grandparents and other family members to step in and help this child. If you are aware of a child who is living in neglect, first contact the Department of Children's Services or DCS at the child abuse and neglect hotline at 1-877-237-0004.
