I suggest you do everything on your court orders to the letter. Keep documentation on everything you're doing to comply with the court ordered services. Get as much as you can in writing so you can provide documentation of your efforts in court. Read this site and work with your attorney to prepare legal documentation to try to prove to the judge that you're making efforts to get your children back. Have a home for them to come back to. Good luck. For more feedback on your case, try registering at our <a href="http://forum.fightcps.com" rel="nofollow">message board</a>.

There's a visitation report form in the legal document library here on FightCPS - that can be used to document and to send to the caseworker for confirmation of facts.

I know personally that if the county, the case aides who are supervising your visits and the case worker do not like you then they will not necessarily always document the truth. I started keeping my own version of the visits and then at the end of the visit I would ask the person supervising the visit, "How did the visit go?" She would look at me like I was stupid and would tell me that the visit was great. Then I would respond, "I just wanted to make sure there are no discrepencies... Never trust any of them, no matter how nice they may act to you. I have put my head in their trap more times than not. Never let your guard down. Even when you get your kids back, don't ever feel you are done with them. They will always watch you, unfortunately. I am paranoid about them coming back even though I never hurt my kids. I lost them because I was a victim of domestic violence. But they "got a high" off of removing my children, according to a former case worker who was in the court room when the order was given to "remove" them. The word REMOVE sounds so sterile and clean but it's not always in the best interest of the children. Peace and best of luck to all.

Now on this day of December 29, 2008, this court finds that neither BLANK BLANK, nor any representative on his behalf, may submit any document or materials for filing in the BLANK County Circuit Court's records to the Circuit Clerk or Probate Clerk, unless such documents have been properly signed by an attorney licensed in the State of Arkansas, or such filing is authorized by a Circuit Court Judge of this judicial district. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that should the said, Blank Blank, or any representative on his behalf, attempt to violate this Order, the Circuit Clerk or Probate Clerk is to immediately notify a Circuit Judge of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Sheriff of Blank County, Arkansas, shall serve this Order upon the following: Then it named all 4 people....my two sisters, my mom and my brother (who has been doing all the filing) Have you ever heard of such an order??????? Well that is what I thought but here is how it was worded……………

The reason I asked is because my brother has been doing all his filing him self and my sister and mom have been typing it up and getting it all certified and the courts have been accepting all the paper work. It has gotten them pretty far to say the least. But can a DHS/CPS lawyer file such a thing saying you HAVE to get a lawyer if they are doing it right? Just wondering?

I attended a so called best care plan meeting and informed them there I was. Then when I was recording in access they tried to stop me on the grounds they did not give me consent. At this time she had actually abused my son, and I recorded it. I informed her I had a recording of the meeting where I informed Wendy and Wendy said O.K. They have tried many times to prevent em, and to prevent me taking pictures of injuries, abuse, hidden monitoring devices of theirs etc, to no avail. Try to record all contact too.

We all do it to friends and family members right? The E-mails can be used againt CPS for it is considered a legal document and they cannot deny the things they tell you and then say something different in court. Do you catch my drift? I cut and paste my and save them for a court hearing. I continually request documents and keep detailed files, but the suggestions I just read were even more detailed than mine. Good Idea!! Keep fighting! Debra Braxton Dear Parents:
