Do you need legal advice?

You might need legal advice if:

  • your children are at risk of physical or psychological harm
  • you can’t agree with Child Protection Services about what’s in your children’s best interests
  • you’re going to Court because Child Protection Services is seeking an order
  • you’re thinking about signing a care agreement proposed by Child Protection Services

Getting legal advice can help you understand the choices you have and what is happening. It’s a good idea to get legal advice before you go to court.

To find out where to get legal advice from, refer to our Support Services section.
