Preparing
Hopefully this may help someone now or in the future, who has similar dealings with CPS. The moment CPS starts an investigation, arm yourself with a tape recorder, and then immediately start looking for a competent lawyer, Board Certified in Family Law, and be prepared to spend thousands of dollars to defend yourself. Hopefully you will have some sort of a diary that can remind you of any Dr.s, therapists, or any other Professional that may have been in your child's life. If they bring any charges against you, believe me they will dig into your life and ferret out anything that vaguely resembles being a bad person. Then when you see the papers, suddenly there are all kinds of things recommended, anger management, sexual abuse treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, everything imagineable.....these were all listed on my papers.......even though there was No Criminal History, not even a parking ticket, No Drug or alcohol problems, no sexual abuse, no parenting problems. From a former CPS worker and my lawyer, I am told they use a blanket approach, list everything imagineable, and let you fight your out, I'd prefer to call it the manure approach.......they throw a bucket of manure on you and see if any sticks. I will keep posting until this ordeal ends, and if I help one parent fight and win then it is worth it.
