Re: cps

The Judge in an abuse and neglect case will appoint a lawyer for you and another one for your boyfriend. Unless the abuse has been severe the WV Department of Health and Human Services will attempt to provide services (such as parenting classes and counseling) to improve the situation and put the family back together. Although their rules might seem petty and stupid, you have to obey them all, because obedience to the improvement plan is part of successfully completing it.
