Summary

An attorney might recommend withdrawal from a DCFS case due to conflict of interest, case complexity, or personal circumstances. In Indiana, if a parent chooses not to participate in a child welfare case, the court may interpret this as a lack of interest or ability to care for the child. Parental rights are usually terminated by a court order, not by a parents decision not to participate. The courts primary concern is the childs best interest.

Why would an attorney recommend taking me off of an open dcfs case regarding my child
Hello ****, it's hard to provide a specific answer without more details. An attorney might suggest this due to various reasons such as conflict of interest, case complexity, or your personal circumstances. Could you please share more information about your situation? Also, could you let me know your location as laws may vary?
My son has autism and fingured out how to open his bedroom window and he escaped while everyone was sleeping. He was brought home by the police. Weve taken all the necessary steps and the case is going to be closed soon. I recently got information that shows neglect towards my son at his other parents house, who he has not stayed with in 3 years. When the case was started, my sons mother hired a lawyer and requested to not be involved. What does that decision entail in regards to custody of my child. Will she still have rights?
Hello ****, the decision to not be involved in a case might affect her custody rights. However, the specifics depend on local laws. Could you please tell me your location to provide more accurate information?
