Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
My husband and i got into an agruement last week and the cops were called. My daughter got scared and wanted to leave and go to my sisters house and the cops told me that she was leaving with them. The next day I received a letter from childs service's stating the I commited child abuse on my daughter, which is not true. Now my daughter who is 16 refuses to come home and my sister is insisting that she stays with her. I do not know what to do and do not know my legal options and need help.

You need to review the letter with an attorney and discuss your options. Your best bet is to seek a consultation ASAP, and *especially* before you talk to anyone from any child services agency.
Your present options depend upon the specific facts of your case, and that's why you need to sit down one-on-one with an attorney. If you'd like to discuss the specifics of your situation, feel free to contact me offline. Best of luck to you.

I have handled many cases of a similar nature and I am most sympathetic to your dilemma. Do not speak to any agency without a lawyer or without having consulted with a lawyer.
