Cox Clay County, Division E Dependency Cases Child Protective Investigators (CPI) from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) investigate reported cases of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. After an investigation, either the family is offered volunteer services, and the case is not submitted for Court supervision, or a Petition is filed with the Court under Chapter 39 of the Florida Statutes. In either circumstance, the child/ren and their family will work with DCF and/or Camelot Community Care, which is the community provider for DCF. • If the child/ren is removed from the home, a Shelter Hearing must be heard within 24 hours of removal. At the time of the Shelter Hearing, an attorney(s) will be appointed if the parent(s) qualifies for appointed counsel based on his/her income. At the time of the Shelter Hearing, the judge will determine the child/ren’s placement, visitation with the family, and any other needs for the family that need to immediately be addressed such as education, mental health, and medical needs for the child/ren. Thereafter, the Court will have follow-up hearings to monitor the safety and well-being of the child/ren, ensure all parties’ due process rights are preserved, and help the child/ren work towards achieving permanency. • The main hearings in a Dependency case (Shelter, Arraignment, Trial, Disposition, Judicial Review, Permanency Hearing, and Advisory) are required to meet state and federal statutory guidelines. • IF YOU HAVE A SHELTER HEARING: If a Shelter Hearing is scheduled in any Dependency case, it will be held via Zoom. • Appropriate conduct and attire are required and expected. During hearings, parties should conduct themselves as they would in real-life courtroom hearings: appropriately dressed; not smoking, eating, drinking or chewing gum; appropriately prepared and without distractions, while refraining from multitasking on other matters • Rename your device with your First and Last name for Admittance.
If the child/ren is removed from the home, a Shelter Hearing must be heard within 24 hours of removal.
