Dear Allison,
My parents are going through completely fraudulent DYFS allegations. I don’t understand how so many of my parents rights are overlooked and how DYFS can drag my family through the mud without them doing their due diligence to see if the allegations have merit. For one example, in the report they state that my mother has two possibly three DUI’s which is completely false. Why wouldn’t they check to verify if that’s correct which would be public record. My mother and father raised myself and my two brother into respectable members of society and we are all in our mid to late twenties. I just hope the same for my sister, she shouldn’t have to worry about they state treating to place her in foster care. Any advice would help, please help against our injustices.
With high hopes,
Tina
Hello Tina,
I am so very sorry to hear of your parents’ difficulties with the division. Sometimes, what they agency does is clearly in violation of the law. Other times, they are doing what they have a right to do; however, because they establish a confrontational relationship with those they investigate, this does not become clear until there is a court proceeding. And sometimes, this does not become clear even with the court proceeding.
The only way I can really understand whether or not your parents are being mistreated or if there is a violation of the law is for your parents to come in and have a consultation with me. If they are interested in meeting in either my North Jersey or South Jersey office, please have them contact our office at (908) 687 – 5999.
Warm regards,
Allison C. Williams

Dear Allison, I did what DFYS wanted: My son had a physical and blood work and a psychiatrist eval. and, I had a pyschologist eval.–the doctor was given a questionaire to answer and then they telephoned him, My son and I were to be supervised by my husband or Nana until these visits were done. My son and I are fine according to the doctors. Today DFYS ended the supervision but want me to go to their pyschologist for tests saying don’t worry b/c I already have a dr. report stating I am mentally stable. I do not understand. I feel like they are fishing. There is no problem they can point to. I don’t trust them. I can’t find any info. about their pyschologist Dr. Todd Traina. when asked what if I don’t want to go, I was told (she) could contact her supervisor but my husband said that I should just go. DFYS also want to send a social worker for counseling all of us in the home for “a not too long period of time.” Today I was told they were opening a case on me. What does that mean? July 9. 2012. I would like if you could tell me what they are aiming at doing with another pysch visit to a dr, they pay. Thank you

Hi allison i really need to speak to you.DYFUS has custody of my 4yr. old grandson since january I am his biological grandmom gave them my info since jan they lost my info.3different casewrks asked over and over like a game they play hes with 2foster family no return phone calls they dont care bout well being of this child. i need help to get this little guy back asap thank you.cindy
Question.
If DYFS removes a child from the custodial parents home (the mother) do they usually place the child with the non custodial parent (there are no abuse allegations against the non custodial parent)? DYFS has told us that there’s no guarantee that this will occur and could go to foster care or another relative. If the non custodial parent has no accusations of abuse or other allegations against him, why would the children not be given to him?
Dear Marie,,
Anytime a child is removed from a parent, the other parent is the first alternative “placement” that is sought. A “placement” with the non-custodial parent is not a change of custody, but rather, is a temporary placement pending remediation of the problem that led to removal.
However, placement with the noncustodial parent is preferred and absent any disqualifiers identified in the Child’s placement review act, the child should be placed with a parent. Those disqualifiers include but are not limited to: criminal background, child abuse history, in adequate housing conditions, etc.
If a child is removed from a parent, the division is required to file an action in court to either seek court approval for continued removal or permission to remove, depending on the circumstances. Both parents should be listed as defendants, even though the case only is directed at the custodial parent. When in court, the noncustodial parent should ask the judge for placement of the child, if the division for any reason does not approve the placement of the child with his/her parent.
These are general parameters and not designed to be legal advice. Should you have questions as to your personal circumstances, please contact my office to schedule a consultation regarding your matter.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Allison C. Williams
I karen wilson is asking for your phone number and address. so i can give you a call

Dear Allison: We tried to do a thing and adopt a boy out of DYFS. The caseworker doesn’t show for his appointment, at my mother’s home where we would have lived should we have gotten him. He came out 2 weeks later and lied to my disabled husband, whom has a brain injury and told him he had an apt. He did not. He took pictures of my mother’s home, which is undergoing cosmetic renovations, when my husband asked him not to. All while not having my mother’s permission. Is in the home and is continuously staring at our 15 1/2 yr old son, lickng his lips, gets some type of a twitchy eye and 2 turns around and files false allegations against us. 2 days later a different case worker comes out to investigate. We go to court, prove NO abuse or neglect, have doctors, teachers and principals telling this guy he’s barking up the wrong tree and he should really leave us alone. Prove our residency, but the caseworker tells my mother this is personal, I was not nice to him and show he is gonna show me and take my son away. He wants to get into my mother’s home to “inspect” it. He called the township building inspector on her and reported her for doing work without a permit. She is a 72 yr old woman with a stage 3 metastatic cancer currently under treatment and can not be upset. The judge is continually granting a court order for him to go into my mother’s home. We not only don’t liver there, we don’t own it. How can they do this? Now they are threatening taking away our son. This is a disgrace and absurd. He is a straight A student in all Advance Placement classes in 10th grade. Our 18 year old attends a Christian University on a academic scholarship. How can they take our son, that is not abused or neglected away from us? This is getting out of control. Can you PLEASE help??

Hello. I have a hugh problem with dyfs and the new jersey courts system..My son is being acused of child abuse and other things. He is now
sitting in the county jail in nj because him and his wife had an agument over the one child taking her medication. ( the child didn’t want to take it so she was crying ).. so the wife started to hit him and when he block one of the punches she got a mark on her arm then she grabed a pot and started to hit him. So he took that away from her.. she then came at him and she hit his gut and went into the micowave and got a bruse. He didn’t hit her. Ten minutes later she said she was going to er… she left all 3 children home alone with him. When she was at the er she text him and told him the hospital called the cops. She had him removed from the home . He was released ror no bail. She had the kids 2 days and dyfs took them away from her and they said she was an unfit mother. When he went to court yesterday they charged him with abuse of a child. ( Dyfs goes to their house every day). Nothing was ever said about this. I got a copy of the arrest warrent that said this happened on dec.24.. why would dyfs wait over two weeks to charge my son. The best… he meet with dyfs on Tuesday and the cop called and asked if she need him she said no they were only talking. They were also making plan for him to get his kids back. My question is if this happen on12-24 why wasn’t he arrested then? Why was he ror the same day she had him arrested? and why was the arrest warrant issued yesterday when he went to court?. Please let me know ASAP if you can help me. He has never been in jail and I’m afraid he’s going. Something is going to happen. He is a great father and person. Thank you

If you have clients who you need to refer out, for matters in Morris, Sussex, or Warren County, please keep me in mind! I have over 10 years of experience as a pool attorney with OPR.
Arthur, we will certainly keep you in mind for cases in those counties. There often arises the opportunity for us to refer cases to co-counsel, where we represent one parent and the other parent is in need of competent representation. In fact, that is how the firm of Paragano & Williams, LLC came to be – John and Allison met as co-counsel in the Warren County DYFS case.
Please im going nuts. They took my son and said I was unstable. How stable will u be if they take ur baby. All because my sons father is jealouse. Now he has a crash class on how to care for a 2y old.please help im so lost.
Grace,
We are so sorry to hear your circumstances. It is not uncommon that the division involves itself with the family, only to accuse the parents of being “unstable” when they have strong reaction to the division’s involvement and/or removal of a child.
We would be happy to discuss this matter with you at a consultation. Please contact my office to schedule same.
Warm regards,
Allison C. Williams
