Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Our daughter was taken out of our home by CPS on 11/8/10 for charges of neglect that were unfounded in December and we still didn't get our child home.
On 1/18/11 we signed an "Agreed Order Returning Child Home to Parents" with different things we had to do; engage in FFT, let daughter see grandma and foster mom, take daughter to counseling appointments and make sure she takes her meds, follow FFT therapist recommendations and sign releases.
CPS wants to come to our home and do a "health and safety check" since it is not in the court order do we have to comply?

If you were my clients, given what you have presented above, I would say that you need to do everything you can to convince CPS that you are not a danger to your daughter. That means cooperating with them, even if the Court has not yet ordered it to. In other words, don't quibble about complying, especially if you have nothing to hide.
What you are after is a glowing review from CPS so that the case gets closed and you can move on with your life without living under a microscope that much longer, as I am sure you feel like you are doing now.
