CPS can be a double-edged sword. The problem that you have deals with the interface between CPS and your divorce & custody case. When CPS becomes involved, now it involves you, the opposing party and a CPS representative. This means your case now involves a third party and if you’re waiting in a hearing and CPS isn’t there yet, you are stuck paying your attorney by the hour because you’re simply waiting on them.
A lot of times the court will require routine reviews every 90 days. These cases can have a longer lifespan compared to other cases. If you go into court and say that you need custody because your child is being neglected or abused by the other parent, you will be asked if you called CPS. If you are going to make an abuse or neglect case, then the court will expect CPS to become involved.
