Q: How can I sue cps and get my children back....

Almost 4 years ago CpS took my children... At the time I had no criminal record... I have no drug record... there has never been no domestic violence situation with me and there dad (my husband) all the allegations were not proven... yes we had moved out of our home into my sister's home that the cps worker came to the house and cleared the new home... a week before she took my sons from school... I tried to fight it for years but it would only result to me being upset with everyone in court, including the judge...

A: An attorney should have been appointed. Was an attorney appointed? Drug abuse and child abuse are two reasons for CPS to become involved, but not the only reasons. You can hire an attorney to evaluate your situation.

A: To sue CPS and regain custody of your children, consult a family law attorney specializing in child custody and CPS cases. Gather evidence to support your claims, keep detailed records of interactions with CPS, and review your CPS case file with your attorney. Follow legal procedures guided by your attorney, attend court hearings, and comply with court orders. Best of luck with your situation!
