Faqs
How is child custody decided?
Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Courts consider factors such as parental involvement, stability, the child’s needs, and each parent’s ability to provide a safe environment.
Can child support be modified after it’s ordered?
Yes. Child support orders can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as changes in income, employment, or parenting time.
What should I do if DCFS contacts me?
You should remain calm, cooperate respectfully, and consult an attorney as soon as possible. Legal guidance early in the process can help protect your rights and ensure appropriate responses.
Can I lose custody because of a DCFS investigation?
Not automatically. An investigation does not mean custody will be removed. Many cases are resolved without removal when families receive proper legal guidance and support.
Do family law cases always go to court?
No. Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or agreements outside of court, reducing stress and conflict whenever possible.
