I'm glad to hear you sent the objections and corrections paperwork to your attorney. Let me know what happens. So sorry you're going through this.

Those caseworkers must be trained to end an interview if they're being recorded.

So sorry to hear the divorce lawyers want your time limited. Maybe they're trying to stay in step with what CPS is doing but this will mean you'll have to go back to court again later after CPS closes their case... which it looks like they're planning to do, eventually. How was court on Monday? Anyt...

It sounds like the family court order could have been violated, but since I don't have all the facts, and don't know your state's laws, I can't say for certain whether this move was the right thing for her to do. If you question the move you could take the case back to family court. Did you ask the ...

Can you prove what the judge said? Did you talk to your county commissioner? Don't worry about what to say - just tell them the judge's order isn't being followed.

If that happened to me, I'd be at the county commissioner's office... (in some areas called the "County Board of Supervisors" - not the CPS supervisors!!)

Good luck... hope you get action.

Also, maybe your state legislators would help.

While he's in state custody, whatever the caseworker says about visitation should be followed. If the caseworker says yes to an overnight visit, how can the father stop it?

I don't understand exactly what's going on, why three children are already adopted out, whose funeral you went to and why one child was hospitalized. Do your best with the home visit; you should have Kinship Care rights especially if nobody else in the family will be asking for these children. It co...

Any changes? I'm sorry the trial was postponed, but sometimes that's the best thing so the defense attorney can prepare a better case. I hope it helps.

Thanks for posting this good advice about doctors. Parents should stay up to date on requesting all medical records from doctors. They can be a good way to document your ability to take good care of your children. They can prove that when your child was with you, your child was healthy enough. Once ...

Well said. If people applied Biblical principles to their lives and CPS cases, these cases would be more easily resolved, or at least the parents would find inner peace and comfort for their broken hearts... because that's what Jesus does for us. I spent a lot of years blaming an unjust system for w...

Another idea for getting a hearing. Go to the welfare department and ask for the form to file for a fair hearing. Then fill it out with your CPS case details. Mail it in... certified mail. Keep a copy. Maybe keep a video of the entire thing to prove you mailed it in. It takes a few months to get a h...

Read and make copies of the Kinship care rules in the Ohio Social Services Regulations - and give those copies to anyone who will listen. I'd be talking to my county commissioner - maybe even going to county commissioner meetings to share my two minutes worth. They are supposed to be in charge of al...

Hi bing bing, welcome to the forum. I like your suggestions, but have questions about the last two items. Why submit to a drug test? I think it is a civil rights and 4th amendment privacy issue that a person should definitely discuss with an attorney first. I have never taken a drug test... ever. I ...

Hi Kimber, welcome to the forum! I'm so glad that FightCPS was a help to you when the CPS case started, and it is good to read that you were able to save your grandchild and have her back with you now. You've been through so much! I hope that ex-sister-in-law learned a lesson about calling CPS. They...

Hi Starrie.... I'm so sorry you're going through a CPS case with family turning against you. I know how much that hurts at a time when you really need their love and support. So, are you telling me your husband is 100% not abusive? If so, I wonder how the rumors got started. Sorry it took me so long...

Sorry I'm so slow to respond here. This has been a busy month for me and I'm still not caught up with answering front page comments. I really don't know much about risk assessments for people accused of being likely to molest their children. I don't know anyone involved in that business, sorry! I'd ...

I read this entire thing, and wish you would put into plain language what's going on. I take it you were a grandmother with custody of a six-year-old who was taken by CPS and later placed with his mom. The mom has a partner (female partner?) and you're concerned about the well-being of your grandson...

I know how painful that is, to lose a child at birth to CPS. I also know it is hard to convince a judge to allow you to represent yourself, when you already have a court appointed attorney. I'm wondering how long this case has been going on. Did you already sign a guilty plea in court or did you req...

Jimmy, why did you let her move back in when you knew it was an issue for CPS? Sometimes you have to decide between your kids and your relationship, and the kids are more important - they are your flesh and blood.

Sorry the site has been down. The hosting company says there are too many "executions per hour" and then suspends it. As soon as I find out, I email them and they restore it. Lately their statistics show no reason for these service disruptions. I've spent many, many hours working on making...

I've already signed it. I hope your daughter will be helped.

If you don't have a good lawyer yet, you should try to get one now. If they take you to court you could be placed on the central index and it could interfere with your nursing profession. You could probably ask your husband to leave and then get your child back. But so long as he's in the home you'r...

Thanks so much for your prayers - I really need them!

I wish there was a thread for everyone who comes here. It is so helpful to read about how a case starts and what happens. Thanks for keeping us up to date with the news.

Have you gone to see your county commissioner about this?

Did you suggest to the caseworker that you would sign that SAR release if she removed the accusation that you didn't interact with your baby? Have you discussed this with your lawyer? A good lawyer might be willing to negotiate this with you. Actually, good lawyers will not want you to sign anything...
