White Plains, New York
The law assumes that parents have the right to raise their children and are responsible for providing for, protecting, and caring for them. Therefore, allegations of child abuse or neglect come with a hefty price tag, depending on the relationship a parent has with their child. Tully Rinckey’s family law attorneys work diligently to get to the bottom of allegations of child abuse or neglect in New York State with one thing in mind: the welfare of the child(ren).
As any New York State child abuse and neglect lawyer could tell you, allegations of child abuse or neglect can have an extremely negative impact on your life, even if they are fabricated. Allegations such as this can tear apart families and forever change the relationship between parent and child. If you have been accused of child abuse or neglect, it is important to know what your rights are and how to defend yourself against the allegations to protect your future and the future of your family.
Our team routinely assists clients dealing with child abuse and neglect issues throughout Westchester and Rockland counties and has helped many individuals maintain and protect their relationships with their children.
The state takes any allegation of child abuse or neglect very seriously, and such allegations are grounds for the state to interfere with your parental rights. If a parent fails to meet the responsibility that comes with ensuring a child’s physical and emotional wellbeing, New York State has the right to intervene as a matter of public policy. Allegations of child abuse and/or neglect are very serious matters, and it is important that you have professional legal representation from a lawyer who is well-versed in these types of matters.
Even the best parents can be falsely accused of child abuse or neglect. While not substantiated, an allegation from a former spouse, another parent, significant other, family member, or neighbor can have severe negative impacts on a person’s life. These charges are serious and should not be taken lightly, even when you know the accusation is untrue.
