Dependency, Neglect and Abuse Attorneys Covington
Kenton County — Campbell County — Boone County — Hamilton County
Dependency, neglect and abuse laws cover a broad range of issues regarding children. Dependency laws involve a civil action, instigated by the state, regarding families who need assistance and services. Issues can involve lack of food, plumbing and other items necessary in raising children. Neglect and abuse laws involve intentional acts by a parent that place children at risk.
If you, as a parent or guardian, face a dependency, abuse or neglect investigation, you have the right to an attorney at all hearings regarding your case. At the Covington, Kentucky, law firm of Roush & Stilz, P.S.C., we have experience in dependency, abuse and neglect investigation cases and can help protect your rights as a parent or guardian.
Have you received a summons or notification that your children may be taken from your custody? We can help. Call the dependency, neglect and abuse attorneys at Roush & Stilz, P.S.C., at (859) 757-0970.
Lawyers Peter Roush and Kash Stilz are both experienced in legal matters relating to children and families. For instance:
- We are both court-appointed guardians ad litem. In this role, we represent the best interests of children by visiting kids' homes, interviewing parents, teachers and social care professionals.
- We handle Dependency, Neglect and Abuse charges for parents, other family members or custodians, and have extensive knowledge of juvenile legal codes and the juvenile legal system.
If you are charged with abandonment, sexual or physical abuse of a child, medical or educational neglect of a child, or other issues relating to a child's care, we can help. We have represented hundreds of parents and guardians in court, and can work to protect your family and keep your children in your home.
The dependency, neglect and abuse legal system has its own rules, procedures and regulations. Do not work with an attorney unfamiliar with juvenile and family law processes. While participating on a court-appointed panel we have handled cases regarding children, parents and guardians, including grandparents, and are experienced in fighting for families' interests.
