Q: Non offending parent is being denied to take his child home
The mother of my child was found to be using during part of the time of her pregnancy. I was unaware of this use. She was honest with me about this in the hospital. I told her we needed to separate for the time being and I was going to get a lawyer to gain temp custody to assure the safety of our child. I was under the influence that as the nonoffending parent and because I had caused no previous nor immediate danger to our son, under my rights I should be able to still take our son home with me when he discharged from the hospital. This is what I was told in the beginning by the CPS investigator. Then a few days later after the investigator was contacted by the mother's sister (without either of our knowing or consent) I was then told I needed to undergo a drug assessment and submit to a urine test in order to bring my son home? This is because of a false allegation given by the mothers sister who has never met me. Do I have to submit to her requests in order to lawfully take him home
