Attorney Greening can consult on ongoing “open” DCF cases where parties seek an end to DCF involvement with the family.
DCF has broad discretion to keep cases open when they have “concerns” and wish to monitor a family through home visits and compel certain behavior change through the creation of Action Plans.
The decision-making within each DCF office varies and each individual DCF social worker handles a case differently. The subjective nature of DCF decisions can be very frustrating. Attorney Greening can assist in understanding the DCF process and how to obtain case closure.
