answered on Aug 28, 2022
It *sounds* like this is in the early stages of CPS involvement, in which case the Department of Children's Services merely needs to show there is "probable cause" to prevent your husband from having contact with your children, in the interest of keeping your children safe.... View More

That being said that does not mean that the police didn't do something wrong in the investigation and you should definitely hire a lawyer to determine this and... View More

The therapist is not required to enforce the law, and is entitled to rely on a representation made by a parent. Only one parent has to consent to therapy unless a parenting plan specifically states otherwise, which would be rare.
