Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

DYFS Investigation

DYFS was investigating my ex, and

contacted me to interview the

children (I have custody). Then it

seemed that they were investigating

me. Do I have a right to legal

representation during the

investigative process ? If I advise

them that I am seeking council and

in fact get it and provide them that

(Attorney contact) information

should all future contact

be made through the attorney or can

they still contact me directly. I have

nothing to hide but DYFS is a scary

intimidating agency. And they have

broad powers that seem to go

unchecked.
