In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependency and/or severance case.

May my child do community service hours in lieu of any parental fees owed?
No, fees that are owed by the parent cannot be taken on by the minor. They are solely the responsibility of the parent.
