The role of the family in American society is important in our nation's history and tradition.

The law assumes that all parents want to and do act in their children's best interest. Based on this assumption, parents are given the right to raise their children with the responsibility of adequately providing, protecting, and caring for them. Charges of child abuse or neglect are grounds for rebutting this parental right. When parents cannot meet the responsibilities that come with raising their children, the Court has a right to intervene. When you or someone you know is facing this situation, it is important to get professional legal help from a qualified attorney.

Even the best of parents could be falsely accused of child abuse or neglect by a disgruntled former spouse, other parent or significant other, family member or neighbor. These charges are serious and should not be taken lightly, even when you know the accusation is unfounded. It is not worth losing your children by not allowing an attorney help you through this difficult situation.
