Erlanger, KY asked in Civil Rights, Family Law, Legal Malpractice and Child Support for Kentucky

Q: How can I address CPS's breaches and misrepresentations in court?

I am in Kenton County, KY, dealing with a situation involving CPS and Judge Beck. CPS has breached confidentiality by discussing private information in court without my consent, despite the courtrooms being full of people. I have proof of their inaccuracies and have filed two complaints but received no responses. CPS has not placed my daughter in therapy, which led to her self-harm, and they lied about it in court. I've been misrepresented by my lawyer, who sided with the state. CPS scrutinizes my prescribed medications, ADHD treatment, and buprenorphine, and questions their legitimacy. They are also seeking $37,000 in child support from me. After requesting access to records, a police officer was sent to my home instead. I have an upcoming court date on March 13th. How can I address these breaches and misrepresentations effectively?
