Can I have a different Caseworker?
My caseworker has hated me from the beginning. She never returns my calls and I think she’s got it in for me.
Lawyer Answers (1): Answers from lawyers are general preliminary responses. They are not formal legal advice and cannot taken account of all your circumstances. They do not create a lawyer–client relationship.
- This is up to the Department not the Court.
- If you have concerns about your Caseworker it is best to talk to them or their Supervisor about it.
- Generally the Department is not willing to change Caseworkers as most people that end up in Court have difficult relationships with their Caseworkers.
- You may like to have a support person with you each time you speak with your Caseworker.
- This is something you can still discuss with your lawyer.
