Re: children
Sometimes certain offices of DFCS in some counties do go too far and try to take away the children from the parent(s) for a dirty house, but usually, a dirty home alone is not enough to take the children away. There are the civil actions, normally called Deprivation; there could also be simultaneous criminal actions based on the same facts. You did not provide enough information. Please feel free to contact me or any other attorney for a free consultation. I have additional questions.
In responding to your question in this matter, the Firm is not expressing an opinion on whether you will ultimately prevail if legal action is pursued. You should not refrain from seeking legal assistance from another firm if you desire another opinion. Because time is always important, and could be critically short in your case, you may wish to seek another opinion as soon as possible.
