family law child protective services

If Child Protective Services (CPS) contacts you, call The Whitley Law Firm immediately. You have a right to have your family law lawyer present when you are questioned or interviewed by Child Protective Services.

Child Protective Services is a powerful organization, with deep pockets for litigation. The emotional and financial toll on families trying to prove their innocence, while separated from their children, can be exhausting.

CPS was created to stop child neglect and abuse. In addition, to assist in finding safe homes for those children who could not be reunited with their parents. However, even with the most pure hearted intentions, Child Protective Services has removed children from the care and keeping of wonderful parents. This is done under the “better-safe-than-sorry” rule.

That’s all well and good in theory, but when it happens to your family, it can be emotionally devastating to you and your children.
