Juvenile Court

If you are concerned with the welfare of children of unmarried parents, contact us for a consultation. Paternity and child support in such cases are ordered by the juvenile court. Children whose parents do not care for them can be declared “dependent” by the court and placed in the custody of other family members or with the Department of Human Resources. If the parents fail to improve their parenting ability, the court can terminate their parental rights. Then, the children can be adopted by others.
