Understanding Child Welfare and the Courts

The primary role of a juvenile or family court in child welfare cases is to protect children and help their parents provide a safe environment. This is a civil court, not a criminal court, and the hearings are often less formal than those you might have seen on TV. In most cases, everyone in court has the same goal—to make sure the child is safe.
