Phoenix, AZ asked in Family Law and Civil Litigation for Arizona

Q: I need to know if I have a good case to sue DCF for braking my happy family up and turning my family and kids against me

3 years ago during the covid out break I had problems with someone renting a room from me. But before I go any farther I do want to add that I was a addicted at the time cuz I was in pain management for15 years.. but non of my family new it cuz I only took enough to control my pain. so I was aware that my roommate where selling pills and they had a friend show up at the house that was highly intoxicated and I told them that that person can not come back cuz my kids don’t need to see that!! At the time I had no idea they would get revenge for me trying to do the right thing! So this person had convinced my roommate’s to call DCF with them and tell them I’m a big time drug dealer even involving my 11 yr old and 13 yr old. Within 2 weeks I got raided and my roommate knew exactly when they would hit me. And I have proof that my roommate was involved in setting me up they moved out before I even got back home from the station. Please tell me if there is anything I can do??

A: This would be better asked to a civil attorney than a family law attorney since civil attorneys deal with lawsuits and family attorneys do not. I would recommend you consult with one before making a decision on whether to pursue.

So, bearing in mind that this is outside my area of expertise, based on the limited information you presented here, I do not see a strong case. But I think there are a lot of details and questions that are left out of what you submitted, so I definitely would again recommend you consult with a civil attorney.
