When the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) becomes involved with your family, it can be stressful, frightening, and confusing. CAS investigations and court cases can have life-changing consequences for parents, guardians, and children. At Tailor Law, our experienced Children’s Aid Society Lawyers in Ontario help clients in Mississauga, Toronto, and the GTA navigate every stage of CAS involvement—protecting your rights, advocating for your family, and working toward the best possible outcome for your child.
Quick Answer: What Are CAS Cases in Ontario?
CAS cases involve investigations and legal proceedings by the Children’s Aid Society (or similar child protection agencies) when there are concerns about a child’s safety, care, or well-being. CAS can supervise families, request court orders, or even remove children from the home. Tailor Law’s lawyers act quickly to defend your rights, respond to CAS, and help you reunite your family or secure a fair and safe resolution.
Service Overview: Understanding Children’s Aid Society Cases in Ontario
CAS’s mandate is to protect children from abuse, neglect, and risk of harm. If someone (a teacher, doctor, neighbour, or family member) reports a concern, CAS will investigate and may take protective action. Children’s Aid Society Lawyers in Ontario can guide families through the process, helping parents and guardians understand their rights, respond appropriately, and protect their children’s best interests
