Question. Can there be an open disposition when there were no criminal charges filed? There was an arrest and a night in jail, then a release with no criminal charges being brought.

How long can a cps case remain open?

I am presuming that CPS stands for Child Protective Services. A CPS case is not a court case, especially if a court case is separate. Therefore that case can remain open if a case worker feels that it should be. Let's say for example, you are charged with child abuse, a case presented to the court by Child Protective Services. For starters, it is not Child Protective Services that actually brings a case to court: it's the state attorney's office. If the court later decides to dismiss your case, then Child Protective Services can still monitor your case for later, and even remove the child from your home if necessary. I am assuming that the 'court case' is a criminl proceeding. If so, then yes, yes, yes ~ you're CPS case could easily remain open far past disposition of any criminal charges ~ whether the criminal charges are dropped or not. Because CPS is not bound by anywhere near the standard of proof (or the presumption of innocence) that criminal courts require, the outcomes of each can be entrely different. Also, 'services provided' by CPS are not considered punishment, so the duration of your case is not seen as a sentence, but a service.

How do you open a court case?

Court cases are introduced by the plaintiff, whether it's the government in a criminal case or a plaintiff in a civil case. This side of the case is known as the prosecution, who'll actually bring a case into court. The other side of the court case is the side that answers the charges for which the case is brought into court. This is known as the defense. In either case, the charges are introduced to the clerk's office of the property division of the court in order to commence criminal or civil action.
