If we have helped you, we would be honored by your review.

If CPS threatens removal, remember: they need court authorization unless there’s an immediate danger. You have the right to an attorney at the first appearance and the right to challenge their claims. Holiday timing doesn’t reduce your rights—if anything, it increases confusion and fear, which CPS sometimes relies on. Get representation immediately to protect your family.
