What you need to know about CPS Defense:

  • CPS must inform you of the reason for their investigation, including the allegations made against you. You have the right to understand why they are involved in your case. 

  • Just like in any legal matter, you have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions from CPS investigators without an attorney present. 

  • You are entitled to a fair process, including the opportunity to contest any allegations made against you. If CPS decides to remove your child or children from your home, you have the right to challenge that decision in court. 

  • You have the right to hire a lawyer to represent you during the CPS investigation. A lawyer can guide you through the legal process, help you understand your rights, and advocate on your behalf. 

  • If CPS moves to remove your child or seeks to take legal action, you have the right to a court hearing to contest their decision. You can present evidence, call witnesses, and cross-examine the allegations.
