In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependecy and/or severance case.
Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.
If you are found “Responsible” for the violations alleged in the complaint, and a fine is imposed for this, when must the fine be paid?
Any fine that is imposed is due and payable at the time the judgment is entered. Therefore a defendant must pay such a fine before the close of business the day that the hearing was held and the judgment was entered.
