I just had my newborn daughter on September 6th of this year and two days after delivery child services was in my delivery room. They opened a CHINS case and ordered me to get employment and stable housing. Due to the father not complying he has a protective order against him. I have a mediation agreement set up for October 27th of this year to come to an agreement with DCS. My court appointed attorney has suggested I take the mediation instead of a trial. She has brought it to my attention the only way DCS will close the chins case is if I continue the services. I am doing everything they have asked of me. I was hoping that there is a way to get the chins case closed and stop the services all on the same day. I just want to have a happy healthy life with me and my daughter even if that means her father is not allowed to be a part of our lives.
: Is there a way to get DCS to close my CHINS case and stop the services all at once? Under these circumstances, probably not. Your best avenue would be to follow your lawyer's advice.
