In a California CPS Case, what happens after the CPS Social Worker is done investigating you?

In a California CPS/DCFS case, when you are being investigated by a CPS Social Worker regarding accusation of child abuse and/or neglect, it can be very scary for any parent. It is important to note that the investigation process is one of the most important steps in the procedure of Juvenile Dependency. It is usually after this investigation process that CPS will decide the outcome of the case. Generally speaking, there are four (4) possible outcomes that can occur after the CPS investigation process: 1. After CPS has investigated your case, CPS could take no action and thereafter, close your case. This is the best possible option. Having an attorney help you get this outcome is ideal. 2. The second possible outcome could be the caseworkers may refer you to something called Voluntary Services. These Voluntary Services is where the CPS can provide you with free services that can help parents rehabilitate the issues that led CPS to investigate parents in the first place. This outcome is usually also another good outcome because now CPS is taking reasonable efforts to prevent removal. This is an opportunity for parents to prevent removal from happening and from CPS opening a case and filing a petition against you. 3. The third possible outcome can be the CPS opening a case and filing a petition against you. This happens after CPS has investigated your case, and based on their investigation, they believe there is strong evidence showing that the allegations made are TRUE. Depending on the risk of harm to the children will depend on whether the CPS Social Worker will remove your child from your care or not. But if the allegations are not so serious and the CPS worker believes you can prevent remove then they usually will not remove. However, a subjective analysis is not what the Social Worker is suppose to use. Having a CA CPS Defense Attorney can help protect you. 4. The last possible outcome, which is the worse, opening a case, filing a petition and removing your children under your care. This usually can occur if the CPS worker has determined the allegations to be "serious." The CPS case worker will do everything in their power to removal as quickly as possible. This can be through an emergency removal, and if not successful, then a warrant or Court order for your children to be removed. During this stage of the CPS case, it is very important that you reach out to an CA CPS Defense Attorney to advocate for you and to protect your rights. But most importantly to have a plan of attack.
