New Jersey DYFS Order to Show Cause Attorneys

When DYFS removes your children, they begin the abuse and neglect case against you by filing an Order to Show Cause and a Complaint with the court. You should appear at the filing of the Order to Show Cause and Complaint with your attorney. If you do not appear, DYFS will provide you with a copy of the court papers. An Order to Show Cause is a special court order that tells you to appear in court on a specific date (return on the Order to Show Cause) for the judge to consider your case. In the Complaint, DYFS lays out the allegations as to how it believes that you have abused or neglected your child. DYFS must also show why it needs to remove your child from your home. Or, if DYFS only wants to check on your family (Title 30), it must show why that is necessary.
