Re: Child Protective Services

You need a lawyer. You need to intervene in the lawsuit. CPS may do some wonderful things (sometimes) but dealing with them in the system is a legal nightmare. Just because you are not rich, does not mean that you cannot get a perfectly competent lawyer to represent you on a payment plan. Someone may have to get a second job to pay for the lawyer, but then it depends on how important this is.
