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.

What happens if I am not sure who the father is?
When you are unsure of whom the father may be, Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) will pursue the man that you provide the most information on first so that he can either be identified as the father or excluded through genetic testing.
