Q: Is it illegal for CPS to permanently place my kids with my absusers sister with a protection order in place?
The PO is permanent, with 2 violations! The court order is very vague. It states visitation at her discretion. She sneakily took my daughters and moved them 2 hours away from me and my son (Their half brother) and has yet to update her address with the court. I had to locate my children by doing a public property search. She has denied me all contact with my daughters since the move. Prior to that I had been paying for supervised visits through the Family Tree CONSISTENTLY.
A: An attorney would have to see the order but it sounds very broad and gives the sister a great deal of discretion. You may want to seek a modification to the order if you would like to propose alternate arrangement.
