“Let's just say his reputation preceded him, and our would-be adversaries had a complete change of demeanor when they found out Mike was accompanying my husband and I to an initial meeting, after we had already been secretly investigated.”

FAQs

Can I refuse him to take our child?

I agree with your sentiment but would not offer you any specific advice without reviewing the matter. You are probably best discussing this with the attorney who is on your case. If the order does not say what you can do based on a positive test, you should probably try to amend the order.

What is Your Question?

If you have a question that you think would be generally helpful for parents, send it to us using the question form on this page. If we agree, we will post a general answer on this page. If we think it is too specific to post a general Q & A, we will send our response to you only and not post the question. Either way, we invite your questions. Use the form below:

If CPS shows up with a police officer, do I have to let them in?

The presence of a police officer does not really change anything. If CPS shows up with the police, or even without the police, you have to let them in if they have a court order that allows them access or a warrant. Without that documentation or some emergency, you can deny access.

Can CPS interview my children at school without my permission or me present?

Yes. Michigan law is not very helpful on this point. If CPS determines that they need to talk to your kids without notice, (and somehow they always determine that,) the school has to cooperate and let them. They have an obligation to notify you afterwards, but not before. Telling them not to talk to your kids or telling the school not to allow it will have no affect other than to make you look uncooperative (which, to CPS, is a cardinal sin.) There are some options, however, which can be helpful if you get an attorney involved early enough.

Who is responsible for costs of court-appointed personnel?

Unfortunately, the costs of all court-appointed attorneys in CPS cases (the LGAL and all appointed parent attorneys) are incurred by the family in question. When CASAs are volunteers, they should not result in further costs for the family.

More answers can be found on the FAQ page of our website.
