Re: Child Protective Services

CPS has enormous discretion when it comes to jurisdiction over protecting children. They cannot force you to divorce your spouse, however if they feel with a reaonable degree of certainty that your home life as currently constituted presents a danger to the safety or welfare of your children, they can remove the children from the home due to the unsafe home environment.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
