How to Handle Your DCF Family Assessment

Hello, and thanks for joining me here today. My name is Kevin Seaver and I am an experienced trusted lawyer since 1991, successfully representing clients against the Department of Children and Families more commonly referred to as DCF throughout the entire state of Massachusetts in court or out of court, by turning negatives into positives. After an investigation by DCF, most families feel frustration and disappointment.

They are especially devastated that they let DCF speak to their children alone. And they speak to the parents and schools and they speak to the pediatrician and all types of collaterals opening up your life. Your privacy goes out the window, and understandably so. At the end of the investigation if its supported against you, you’re not very happy, nor should you be.

Then you get a phone call from DCF saying, “Hey, we want to come out and do a family assessment. We want to come out to speak to you, your children and your collaterals, again, over the next 60 days. which is 4-5 months”. Like you haven’t been through enough, right.

Now they want to re-ask you questions, visit your home again, and speak to your children, hopefully not alone. And you’re going to push back and your going to say, “No, you’re not going to do that!” Wrong approach. Turn that negative of DCF family assessment into a positive. How? By giving DCF positive information they didn’t have during the investigation. Then you’re going to:

#1, get them to close the case at the end of the assessment, and

#2, hopefully the assessment worker will have the backbone to unsupport the allegations from the investigation.

Now that’s turning a negative into a positive, and that’s what you must do against DCF.
