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 long can a cps case be open?

The duration of a Child Protective Services (CPS) case can vary widely depending on the specifics of each situation. Typically, a case may remain open for several months to a few years, depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the progress of the family in addressing identified issues, and the child's needs. In some instances, cases can be closed relatively quickly if concerns are resolved, while others may require ongoing monitoring and support before closure. Ultimately, the primary focus is on ensuring the child's safety and well-being.

Can cps remove an infant from hospital if no drugs were found in system nor in mom just cause has open case?

CPS can only remove a child from the hospital if they believe the child is in immediate danger. Having an open case alone is not enough reason for removal. If no drugs were found in the infant or the mother, and there are no other immediate safety concerns, CPS would likely not have grounds for removal.

You can contact CPS and "correct" any statements you may have made to them. However be aware that if they have already taken action based on those statements you could be in for trouble. While CPS is not considered a law enforcement agency there are penalties for hindering an investigation conducted by them.


If a court case and a child protective case are closed in the town where you live can the state still keep it open even if its all been closed where you live?

It is unclear what you are asking. Most Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies are state agencies, so it is unclear what you are refererring to when you say a "state agency" is keeping it open.
