Here in Texas, the court appoints an attorney for the child; the attorney ad liteum. The court also appoints a CASA or GAL. CASA is the organization from which the Gaurdian ad Liteum is appointed. CPS will also have their own attorney working on their side of the case.
Because you can intervene based on past contact, I would get an attorney to make sure your rights are represented in the case. No one will do this for you except your attorney. The others represent the child and while they might think being with you is what is best, it is still good insurance to have your own legal representation.
