Q. How likely is it that an attorney can Subpoena the recorded phone call made to CPS and track who made the call?

3 September 2019

A: Very unlikely. CPS records, specially the records of the initial call to report, are extremely confidential. Also, for a subpoena to be even available, there has to be an open case pending (note this is different than a CPS investigation which is not an open legal case).

Q. If I, as a grandparent, have been granted legal custody, can their father have my custody revoked if I don't obey him?

3 September 2019

A: You have to review the court order and see what the terms are. A common misunderstanding people have is the difference between custody, and temporary CPS placement or temporary caregiver. In the former, the terms of the custody order have to be followed. In the latter, CPS determines, in conjunction with the rights CPS gets under the order, the extent of obligations of the temporary caregiver.

Q. The Mother of my child and I have never been to court to have custody/child support agreement.

3 September 2019

A: If you are concerned about their safety then you should file for full custody asap and let the court determine if you have enough evidence. One of the common mistakes people make is seeing issues with the other parent regarding the children and not doing anything about it; then when they do go to court eventually and complain about it, they hear the following response from the judge: "If these issues were so serious in your mind, why didn't you do anything."
