CHINS
A CHINS case may be opened any time Child Protective Services believes a child to be in danger. If you are involved in a CHINS case, seeking counsel from an experienced attorney is recommended.
About CHINS Cases
CHINS stands for “Child in Need of Services.” These cases are often opened when abuse or neglect is suspected, but they may also be opened for children who are considered a danger to themselves. These cases usually involve several hearings. The goal is always to protect the best interests and welfare of the child in question while protecting the rights of the parents.
