FAQ - Appeals Heard in Superior Court

In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependecy and/or severance case.

Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.

Does filing an appeal mean I will get a new trial?

Possibly.  If the Superior Court agrees that the lower court (municipal or justice) did not handle the case correctly it may order a new trial.
