Jacob S. Gunter | Personal Injury Attorney in Provo

If you are facing issues with the Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS), hiring a knowledgeable DCFS defense attorney is crucial. As of May 2021, DCFS cannot force you to take a hair follicle or fingernail drug test. While a juvenile court judge can order these tests, you have the right to agree to them voluntarily. DCFS cannot mandate these tests on their own.

Relevant Laws

You can read the new law at:

  • 62A-4a-105: Last amended by Laws of Utah 2020, Chapters 108 and 250.
  • 78A-6-115: Last amended by Laws of Utah 2020, Chapters 12, 132, 250, and 354.
  • 78A-6-312: Last amended by Laws of Utah 2020, Chapter 214.

When DCFS Comes Knocking

If DCFS is knocking on your door, the best action is to call an attorney immediately.

General Rule: Always refuse to talk to a child protection worker without your attorney present. This rule also applies to police officers when they contact you.
