Cps Court Order Compliance

Summary

If CPS adds requirements beyond a court order, you can request a written explanation, consult the court, or file a motion to clarify or enforce the order. Complying with additional requirements may expedite the process but could set a precedent. During a court meeting, present your motion, provide evidence of compliance, and consider legal representation.

I would like to know what can be done in a CPS (child protective services) case when all of the court orders Conditions Of Return have been completed by the parent with proof turned into the cps caseworker and the parents still can't get their kids back?
Hi ****, here are some general steps you can take:
- **Contact the Caseworker's Supervisor:** Request a meeting with the supervisor to discuss why the children haven't been returned.
- **File a Motion with the Court:** You can file a motion to enforce the court's order if you believe CPS is not complying.
- **Seek Legal Representation:** Consider consulting a family law attorney for specialized advice and representation.

When a parent has a Conditions of Return list of things to do to get their kids back that a judge put in as a court order, can the cps worker add more things to do or to comply with that has not been court ordered?

Generally, CPS workers cannot add requirements beyond what is specified in a court order. If they attempt to do so, you can:
- **Request Clarification:** Ask the CPS worker to provide a written explanation.
- **Consult the Court:** File a motion to clarify or enforce the court order.

My cps worker's supervisor wants her to get me a 'parent mentor' in order for me to switch to full unsupervised visits but it's not in my court order, can they make me do that?

What if i just comply, would that be a positive or negative thing ?
Hi ****,
Complying with an additional requirement like getting a 'parent mentor' could show your willingness to cooperate and might expedite the process of gaining unsupervised visits. However, it could also set a precedent for additional non-court-ordered requirements.
