I said 12 months UNLESS this is not their first time to be given services by DCFS. If they have gone through AA, parenting classes, budgeting class, etc. before and are still struggling to the point of having children removed, then they should be given 6 months tops before TPR paperwork begins.<br /> <br /> If this is the first time they had had their children removed or had to have contact with DCFS, then they should be given a year but should have to show progress at every quarterly court date for the full 12 months to be given.<br /> <br /> Kim I replied to the thread.
