That's great! Keep up the good work!

There are real highs and mostly lows when dealing with CPS. Just keep in mind, you will come out of this. In the lows, don't do anything negative that will put you or your case at risk. It is so hard to have such strong emotions trapped inside and completely unable to vent all of it out. They will w...

I will be filing A Motion for Summary Judgment; Declaration of Facts; Motion for Negative Reasonable Efforts Determination; Motion to Strike Material; Motion to Strike/Vacate Affidavit/Ex Parte Custody Order; Void for Vagueness; Vacate Treatment Plan; Injunction to Remove My Daughter from where she ...

Is there anyway to use the media to your advantage. You have already had their attention. Maybe contact a few and see if they want to do an interview and show what they don't know. There are always risks and it could go either way. Just a consideration.

Awwww. I think about them. It is weird how you can feel for a virtual stranger, when you've shed a few tears together while going through the muck of this.

Marina, Dazeemay, Frustrated...?

Go to this post, and look for your state: http://forum.fightcps.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10360&start=0 EVERYTHING that CPS does is governed. Every procedure should be listed. Timelines, Investigations, Notices, etc. This is what you want to go through, step by step from the referral. You can...

I am so happy that you spoke up and requested a hearing. I want to STRONGLY encourage you not to rely just on this. Make your case solid. Go over the law in finite detail and find every violation/error, you can. They will have screwed up somewhere. You want to make this glaringly clear to the courts.

I think this is a strong approach. Let him do it. If you do, they will say that you have a "distorted view of your daughter" which is an indication of abuse or abuse itself. :roll: I encourage you ***strongly*** to sift through the law. Go through statue by statue, administrative code, and...

I'm still not sure Trina what your agreement is or what it says?

I understand. It is bittersweet to know that there are other people who have gone through it. It is nice to have a place like this to come to. You can bring the child to the window so they can see they are fine. It is a good idea that once they come to go to the doctor and get a statement from the d...

I am always suspicious of CPS. But even though the system is broken, there are some good people in it. I would definitely read up on what to do if they come to the door. 1) Record it. 2) Do not let them come in. 3) Hear their allegations. 4) DO NOT TALK to them. 5) If they do not have a warrant, let...

I have searched, and I keep coming back to the traditional way of fighting. Sticking to the law, hammering out motions, and building a case against them.

I filled out the form for help, haven't heard back. And on the second page it says that the consultation if free, that they cost less than hiring a law firm. So, there is a fee.

I forgot you already had the audio. Go through the transcriptions they will often times alter or eliminate things that were said that are crucial. You want to show that they manipulating the facts, and correct the record. If you requested a hearing and they instead coerced you into an agreement then...

....but not for Self Represented parties.

Ok.. Now it makes sense. Good for you for filing and getting your transcripts. Be sure to get the audio, not just the scripts because they often times do not transcribe correctly. You have to go back over everything with a fine comb. The probability for CPS returning kids back to the custody of pare...

I am assuming that because you are able to file you don't have an attorney anymore? Most courts will not let you file if you have counsel.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the encouragement, I really do!!

Nope no attorney. If you have someone to recommend I would gladly give her a call!

Hey, that is awesome on so many levels!! The fact that you were able to recover from alcoholism while dealing with CPS shows tremendous strength!!! I am so happy that it has worked out for you!!! It is normal to have anxiety and PTSD because of what they've done. You've seen the reality of the dark ...

Hey Trina, Sorry, I didn't mean to keep you hanging. I have my hearing as well next week and am working on my defense too. So, you still have an attorney, right? 1. Talk to him. See what he thinks about it. Chances are he won't think its a good idea. 2. Judges don't make decisions based on emotional...

So the same judge is hearing both your criminal and family court case?

Did you speak with your attorney about addressing the court?

Hahaha. I think your personal experience + hearing thousands of stories of the same CPS tactics over the years you have run this site, would qualify you.
