Protecting Parental Rights During Agency Involvement—Child Protection in Bloomington

When dealing with child protection proceedings in Bloomington, you're facing one of the most emotionally intense and high-stakes legal situations a parent or guardian can encounter. Whether you're responding to allegations, navigating CHIPS matters, or defending your parental rights during agency involvement, Abedi Hanson Sletten PLLC provides clear guidance and strategic representation throughout Minnesota's juvenile court system.

Child protection cases move quickly. Initial hearings, case plans, and permanency timelines all operate on compressed schedules that leave little room for delay. The firm represents parents and guardians from emergency hearings through dispositional proceedings, focusing on preserving your relationship with your child while addressing the concerns raised by county agencies or the court.

Bloomington residents choose child protection representation because the consequences of agency involvement are immediate and severe. A child in need of protection or services petition can result in removal, supervised visitation, mandatory services, or even termination of parental rights if not addressed properly. The firm handles contested hearings, works with social workers and guardians ad litem, and challenges findings when allegations are overstated or unsupported.

Unlike other family law matters, child protection cases involve multiple parties—county attorneys, social workers, court-appointed advocates, and sometimes criminal investigators. Coordination and documentation are critical. The firm reviews case plans, addresses compliance requirements, and advocates for reunification when removal has occurred. Every hearing matters, and every filing affects the timeline toward permanency.
