Does DCF have the power to put certain things in a Final Order (i.e. who you date, where you can take your children, etc.) when closing a case?

Yes, of course they do. They are there to protect children. If you are dating someone who has a criminal record, you have a history of abuse by men!

You don't give us enough information to make a proper determination and a qualified answer. Plerase tell us what is happening.

I had a bad/lengthy divorce taking place last year. My now ex-hubby had his girlfriend that "happened" to work at one of our children's daycare call DCF on me. They started an investigation and here we are over 1 year later. I have had numerous issues (i.e. he comes from lots of $$$ and the power his family has is outrageous- would rather not go to detailed for good reason). Anyhow they have gone from accusing me to then accusing my mom who submitted to their antics only to have them accuse her again recently of having drug abuse/alcohol issues without a shred of evidence as she is not that is why she was submitting to their crap. They then went after my boyfriend who I had done a background check on even before he was introduced to our children!! He has now passed a background check and all other requirements but the caseworker just really keeps trying to place doubt in the Judge's mind. After our last hearing the caseworker made it very obvious that no matter what we do she is still going to find an issue so because of love my boyfriend said it would be best if we broke up as he feels that he is the only thing standing in the way of me getting my children back. Only they are still trying to attack my mother so he really isn't. This case definitely has conflicts of interest in it which I cannot describe in detail. The caseworker went to the lengths to testify under oath that I was using a masking agent for my urine because her screens were not coming up positive for medication I am prescribed. The State's attorney double checked her after court only to learn she lied - she wasn't testing levels and I had been doing exactly everything!! This was brought up in court but she had to suffer no consequences yet I did for a month until the truth was brought to light.

My question is if they now find out my boyfriend broke up with me for the reason he did, are they able to put in a court order that he is never aloud around my kids even after the case is closed? My children are really attached to him as he has played the father role for them for quite some time now and I just couldn't stand it to break their hearts anymore if they couldn't at least spend some time with him.
