Guardianship / Child in Need of Care

guardianshipGuardianship and Child In Need of Care (CINC) cases often involve sensitive situations and an abundance of emotions. Our lawyers at Fletcher & Rohrbaugh, LLP are dedicated to helping clients understand their rights in these areas. We help parents, grandparents, stepparents, and other relatives seek the custody arrangements that are in the best interests of the child.

Child In Need of Care (CINC)

A CINC case usually involves a child that is without adequate supervision or that has been abused in some way. We have handled cases involving abused and neglected children, drug addicted babies and other children that are in danger. CINC cases may progress informally at first, with the parties completing tasks to see that the matter is resolved. However, the matter may progress to trial if an effective resolution cannot be reached. Our firm also represents individuals through the termination phase where an individual's parental rights may be severed. If parental rights are terminated then, depending on the situation, the child may be placed for adoption, permanent guardianship, or an independent living arrangement may be appropriate.

Private Guardianships

Our firm is skilled at handling guardianships. We can explain these processes to individuals that are concerned about the welfare of a child or an adult that is unable to care for him or herself. Legal guardianship, visitation rights, grandparent rights, and the rights of other relatives (such as siblings, aunts, and uncles) are matters that require the attention of an experienced attorney. We strive to educate clients and guide them through the adoption and guardianship processes.
