A: I'm really sorry you're experiencing this situation. CPS can intervene if there's a concern for a child's safety, but they must base their actions on evidence and follow legal procedures. If you believe the accusations against you are false, it's important to gather all relevant documentation, such as medical records and any correspondence related to the case.

Reach out to a family law attorney who can help you navigate the legal system and present your evidence effectively in court. Make sure to attend all scheduled hearings and comply with any requirements set by the court to demonstrate your commitment to your family's well-being.

Additionally, consider contacting local legal aid organizations if you need assistance finding representation. Support from professionals can make a significant difference in resolving misunderstandings and protecting your rights as a parent.
