What if DCF has Custody of a Child Given the COVID-19?

Disclaimer:  This is a series of blogs related to the impact of COVID-19 on the court system; in particular, the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court.  This information may be outdated and it is important to look at the court’s website.  Also, different courts have different particularities.  I have gotten this from both speaking to other lawyers’ and the staff at the Probate and Family Court along with Zoom conferences and other articles along with reading the standing orders.

DCF is not coordinating in person meetings with the parents and children or even if DCF does not have custody the service and limitations on this service is there as well.
