A:
You might feel overwhelmed by the requests DCYF is making. It can be frustrating when you sense that your rights are affected, especially if you've already been convicted. These requirements are often designed to address the court’s concerns about the well-being of everyone involved.
Completing counseling and classes before your probable cause hearing may help demonstrate proactive compliance. This choice could influence how the judge perceives your intentions during the hearing. You may also gather any documents or evidence showing your progress in these programs.
Staying in close communication with your legal counsel can help you make informed decisions that protect your interests. If you feel pressured or unsure about the next steps, you can always ask for clarification about each requirement. Doing your part now might support a more favorable outcome later.
