In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependency and/or severance case.
Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.
As a guardian (or conservator), do I have to file an annual report?
Yes. Standardized forms with instruction can be found on the Arizona Supreme Court Probate page. Instructional videos listed on that site can help you better understand the forms and what is required of you or you can read Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 14, which also lists additional procedures and requirements in this area.
