When Child Protective Services (CPS) becomes involved in a family’s life, the situation can be stressful and overwhelming. At Jean Brown Law Firm, we understand the complexities of CPS investigations and work aggressively to protect parental rights while prioritizing the child’s well-being.
Understanding CPS Investigations
CPS is responsible for investigating reports of child abuse or neglect. If CPS receives a report, they may take actions such as:
- Conducting home visits and interviews
- Requesting access to medical or school records
- Removing a child from the home if they believe there is immediate danger
- Seeking court orders for temporary conservatorship
Your Rights in a CPS Case
If CPS contacts you, it is essential to understand your rights, including:
- The right to remain silent and consult an attorney before speaking with CPS investigators
- The right to refuse home entry unless CPS has a court order
- The right to challenge CPS findings and defend against allegations
Our attorneys help parents navigate CPS interactions, ensuring they do not unknowingly waive important legal rights.
Defending Against CPS Allegations
False or exaggerated CPS claims can have serious consequences, including loss of custody and damage to parental reputation. Our firm defends parents by:
- Challenging unfounded allegations
- Representing clients in court proceedings related to CPS investigations
- Fighting to reunite families if a child has been removed from the home
- Negotiating case resolutions that serve the best interests of both parents and children
