Q: Can Dcs legally make u separate from ur husband and threaten to take your kids away if you don't file a ppo on ur husban
D? How can I get my husband back in my house and not loose my kids to CPS custody either??
A:
It *sounds* like this is in the early stages of CPS involvement, in which case the Department of Children's Services merely needs to show there is "probable cause" to prevent your husband from having contact with your children, in the interest of keeping your children safe.
It also sounds like a no contact order might have been issued by a court preventing your husband from having contact, in which case, for now . . . it might be best to choose your children over your husband.
Caveat, these are just my gut reaction thoughts based on what little information was provided.
You NEEEEED to consult with an attorney experienced with dependency and neglect proceedings. I'd recommend you contact the Juvenile Court of Obion County and ask for a list of attorneys who take appointments on D&N cases (hopefully you'll get at least a short list). Start there, and let them help.
