Child in Need of Care

Child Holding Parent's Hand

Getting Started

When a child’s safety or well-being is in question, the legal process can be overwhelming and emotional. At Nelson & Yarnell, we represent parents, grandparents, and family members in Child in Need of Care cases across Kansas, providing knowledgeable, compassionate advocacy through every stage of the process.

A CINC case arises when there are allegations of abuse, neglect, or lack of proper care. These matters involve state agencies and the juvenile court system, making experienced legal guidance essential to protect both your rights and your child’s future.
