CPS gives ex legal advice to use against me

[integrity]

CPS closed the case but told my ex (who was the one being investigated on a tip from child's therapist) to subpoena the file to use against ME in our custody case. He did and it was lie after lie after lie.

He is trying to use it in court and I'm representing myself and object to it. Can a worker give HIM legal advice when he has a lawyer?

Those pigs will do anything they want. Shouldn't the file be very clear that it was him that was being investigated? He was the "offending parent" as they calll them out here?

If you are acting pro se, do you also have the right to subpoena files? Or can the court do that for you? It goes without saying that you're going to need your own copy of that file to protect yourself and your daughter.

They do have a right to make a recommendation. It is not a legal order, and not binding. Many times cases are closed with letters stating this or that. He probably asked a what if question, and they replied to request the records and file it in court if he so choose. In reality nothingwrong there. It is up to the court/attorneys to do whatever they must.
