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.

I got a dismissal notice. What am I supposed to do now?
Dismissal notices may be sent when there has been no action taken on a case or if there has been no service on a case. The notice explains options available to you. You must choose the option that best fits the situation. If you are not sure what to do, you may want to consult an attorney.
