Loss of Custody - Safeguarding Your Parental Rights
Losing custody of your child is a harrowing possibility that can manifest in various ways. My primary goal, with over 23 years of experience in aggressively advocating for clients, is to prevent or minimize such devastating outcomes. Facing Child Protective Services (CPS) in Wayne County is no easy feat, but my relentless approach has often kept them at bay. Here, I'll discuss the five most prevalent accusations CPS in Wayne County typically pursues and the potential repercussions. Additionally, I'll emphasize the critical importance of having a qualified CPS lawyer to navigate these complex proceedings.
Common CPS Accusations:
- Child Abuse
- Child Neglect
- Failure to Protect
- Shaken Baby Syndrome
- Unexplained Bone Fractures/Injuries
CPS Outcomes:
- Termination of Parental Rights
- Placement on State Child Abuse Registry
- Juvenile Court Petition/Proceedings
- Criminal Charges
The Role of a Qualified CPS Lawyer:
Having a seasoned CPS lawyer is crucial, and not just any attorney will suffice. Unlike business contract lawyers or those who take every case, a qualified CPS lawyer specializes in family and CPS law. Handling child custody, CPS, and divorce exclusively, I often collaborate with other lawyers in Wayne County dealing with divorce or child custody matters.
The Gravity of CPS Outcomes:
The stakes are high when dealing with CPS, and the outcomes can be severe. The termination of parental rights, placement on the state child abuse registry, juvenile court petitions, and even criminal charges are potential consequences. Entrusting your case to a lawyer with expertise in CPS matters is vital, as mishandling these proceedings can be game over for your parental rights.
Preventing Criminal Charges:
In numerous cases, losing custody can lead to criminal charges against parents. A strong defense during the CPS hearing is crucial, as it can dissuade prosecutors from pursuing criminal charges. Experienced prosecutors are often hesitant to engage with a formidable CPS lawyer, preferring to hand the case to a less experienced colleague to preserve their conviction record.
