Product Description
Product Description
Cases in which the state intervenes in a family to protect the safety and well-being of a child are unmistakably complex. The most basic, fundamental rights of parents and children are at stake. Involuntary separation of a child from their parents is an extreme measure and devastating for the whole family. Additionally, these cases involve multiple parties, extensive discovery and motion practice, frequent use of experts, and trials extending over many days. This authoritative manual explains the many facets of state intervention cases—care and protection petitions, Probate and Family Court child protection proceedings, child requiring assistance proceedings, guardianship of minor proceedings, and "private" adoptions—in the Massachusetts courts.
