Legal Question in Family Law in California
Stipulations on CPS investigation
CPS recently conducted an investigation to the welfare of two of my children. On paperwork present to me it reads: the children situations raise some concerns that require immediate attention although retrospect to the investigation findings, inconclusive with situations placing the children at ''substantial risk''. Therefore CPS is making some recommendations and then goes on to list their stipulations. Do I have to sign the paperwork that they presented saying I agree since this was a case opened against my ex and not me however our unresolved and ongoing conflicts are what CPS states has contributed significantly to the children's emotional related stability. The reason I do not want to sign is due to the facts that makes us 'indebted' to them, some of the stipulations are unreasonable and although my ex already signed off on it he is not obeying the recommendations and still nothing is being done about it resulting in the situation not being addressed properly.

You don't have to agree to anything.
Re: Stipulations on CPS investigation
You should consult with an attorney with experience in juvenile court dependency cases. The time frame for these cases is very short. If you cannot afford to retain an attorney then you should request a court appointed attorney. No one can respond to you question without reading the social workers report and reviewed the facts with you.
