If you have been paying child support to the other parent, ensure you have statements of proof (bank statements, money transfer app statements, etc). A parent is finically responsible for their child. CPS involvement does not change that.

If your child is in an unsafe or dangerous living environment, report those concerns to CPS. Obtain a lawyer. File a motion in circuit family asking for change in parenting time and/or suspension of time for custodial parent if dangerous conditions.

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.

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.

You might consider contacting the local prosecutor or seeking help from the Kentucky Bar. Before you do any of that I'd hire an experienced wills/trust/estate lawyer to advise you.
