Re: What to do
You should immediately seek out and retain an attorney. The situation that you describe is a juvenile court dependency case. These cases move quickly. You seek out an attorney with experience in juvenile court dependency court. You may have a defense to the jurisdictional petition filed by CPS. If the judge finds that the court has jurisdiction it could be several months before your son is returned.
