Beckley, WV asked in Criminal Law, Family Law, Traffic Tickets and Child Custody for Kentucky

Q: how is it possible kentucky cps can not allow us to contact with my children even on Facebook? I can’t even see pics.

A quick catch-up just from our last court date, we got lied on by CPS to the judge about being there in attendance and when they found out we were there we still wasn’t permitted to talk to the judge. The judge according to CPS stripped our last method for contact with our own children by banning visitations and ceased all contact with them even on the internet because of what CPS told the judge. They also are saying they are no longer working with us and we are on our own to complete the case plan. One last thing is we are being made to make a choice of punishment between jail for 90 days I think or inpatient rehabilitation for 180 days even though we are already doing outpatient rehabilitation or specialty court aka drug court which the timeline on that is blurry as they prosecutor said 6 months but the drug court instructor said 18 months. And the crime I did for this punishment was the method of how I intake my prescription medication as I huffed it and admitted that to them.

A: CPS cannot allow or disallow you to do anything. If the Court issued a no contact order, it is the court who intends you to have no contact, not CPS.
