Common Questions About the Juvenile System in Missouri

What happens when a case goes to juvenile court?
First, the juvenile court determines whether the state needs to intervene to protect a child. If the Judge determines the family needs intervention, parents are given a plan of services to complete before reunification can occur. At Welch Law Office, we will help you take the necessary steps to bring your children home.

Can I get my children back?
Yes — many parents successfully reunify with their children after completing the steps outlined by the court. Welch Law Office provides support and advocacy throughout the process to help make that happen.

What if I disagree with the allegations in my case?
You have the right to an attorney and to present your side of the story. Our office will help you understand your rights and build a plan that prioritizes both fairness and your family’s future.
