When child protective services come to your house its because they have been tipped that child neglect is happening in your home or a child is in danger. The only time CPS can remove a child is when a judge signs an order or warrant. However the CPS worker has to prove that there is critical evidence that the child is in danger of life or limb. If CPS took your child without a signed warrant from a judge you should consider to hire and attorney to file a lawsuit against the CPS department and the CPS worker.
No, a child under the age of 18 in the US does not have legal right to decide where they would like to live. CPS will make a recommendation and the court will issue an order of custody.If that was the case, there would be a lot of children who still would want to live with their parents who, I take it, have neglected them.A bit more:If you are asking if Child Protective Services has a legal right to say where the child should live (meaning which parent), then no, that would be up to a judge. The responsibilities of CPS is to remove a child from a harmful, neglectful, etc. home, but not to say with which parent they have to live with. Only a judge can rule on which parent is the best for the child.
No. The child may only make such a decision when they reach the age of majority in their legal state of residence (18 in Arizona). However the child may write a letter to the judge with jurisdiction, or engage an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court making their wishes known. The judge may or may not take the child's wishes into consideration and make a custody modification, however he/she will always rule in favor of the best interests of the child.
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 appeal with unemployment, but you need proof that CPS will, with CPS for teachers but they would rather keep the money for benefits.
If a judge has signed a court order for you to have a drug test as part of evaluation from Child Protective Services, yes you have to submit to a drug test.
A CPS judge may require a boyfriend to take a DNA test to determine paternity if it's relevant to a child welfare case, particularly if the boyfriend is a potential biological father and his paternity could impact the child's welfare decisions or legal proceedings. This helps establish legal rights and responsibilities related to the child's care and support.
It is possible for a criminal case and a Child Protective Services (CPS) case to be heard together in front of the same judge if they are related or interconnected in some way. However, this decision ultimately depends on the court's discretion and each case's circumstances. It is best to consult with a legal professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
