Q: Cps is holding custody of my son but the cps in my county has already decided not to remove my child
I had my son in a county I didn't live in when hospital called they lied filed false report dhs from my county started investigation and called hospital to tell them everything was fine baby is to be released to me. They did not like that answer after a bunch more hell they called the county cps where hospital was and they took my son in custody and will not release him back to my county with the caseworker already assigned to me.
A: You need to hire an attorney immediately in order to make sure your rights as a parent are preserved. You do not say why your son was in the hospital or the reason that the hospital called CPS, so I cannot speak to that. CPS will eventually put you on a parenting plan that you should follow. That will be the first step in regaining custody of your child.
