I think that my child is being abused/neglected during parenting time spent with the other parent. What should I do?
The Friend of the Court office has no authority to investigate abuse and neglect allegations. These types of concerns should be reported to Child Protective Services for investigation. Only Child Protective Services has the authority to remove a child from the home of a person who commits or allows mistreatment.
