Divorce and Juvenile Dependency
A divorce can bring about many issues that had not been previously exposed. In some tragic cases, accusations of child abuse or neglect may be made. Of course, such accusations can have a profound effect on the final child custody arrangement. Sometimes a juvenile dependency case will become part of the divorce proceedings.
Juvenile dependency cases focus on children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned by their parents or other primary caretaker. If you believe that a child in your life is being mistreated, you may want to pursue a juvenile dependency case.

Potential Outcomes of Juvenile Dependency Cases
Each juvenile dependency case is different, but the possible court rulings if a parent or primary caretaker is convicted of neglect or abuse may be:
- Mandatory parenting classes
- Probation including routine checks by child welfare workers
- Loss of custody
- Loss of visitation rights, or loss of right to one-on-one visitations
Child abuse and neglect should never be hidden, even if you believe it is in the best interest of the child. If you are concerned about your child’s welfare, it is very important to discuss your rights and options with an experienced legal professional.
