The information contained on Fight CPS.Com is intended only to provide general guidance and research opportunity for those dealing with CPS agents, agencies, state “service” providers, courts, and lawyers. What is written on this website is not “legal advice” which should come only from your attorney.
I, Linda Martin, am the owner and primary author of all information on this website [unless otherwise stated] and I am NOT a lawyer. I am educated as a paralegal (I learned legal research and writing in college) but primarily I’m just another activist working to expose and change the injustices of the child welfare system.
You are advised to consult a competent lawyer to get help with your case if at all possible. You will get only one chance to get the children back so there’s no better time than now to get the best lawyer you possibly can.
There’s no guarantee when dealing with these government agents. What works in one case may not work in others. Therefore there’s no guarantee that the suggestions on this site will work. I worked hard to give you the best suggestions I could, gleaned from nearly thirty years of working with activists and victims of the child welfare system. However CPS agents and cases are unpredictable and don’t always follow a foreseeable pattern. Therefore I will not be responsible for any errors or omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of this information.

I do not make phone calls and prefer not to receive them. Everything I know about the system is on this website. I’m sorry that for many issues it isn’t nearly enough information – but you’re welcome to post your questions in the comment section at the bottom of each article. I don’t know all the answers. I’m just one person who is distressed by the child welfare system. I wanted to do something to help people whose lives are being destroyed by child welfare injustices – so I started the FightCPS website in October 2000 and what you see is the current version of that.
I do not work for or advocate for individual client families – I just don’t have time, authority, or resources – that’s why I put whatever I could offer on this website for everyone to see. If you need a question answered about your case the best way to get attention is to leave a comment on the site. That’s better than email because most likely you’ll get responses from several parent-advocates who have experienced the CPS system and know it well. I don’t always answer my email because in the past I’ve gotten too much of it and I have a busy life besides just fighting CPS. All I can say about that is “I’m sorry” and “please use the comment section instead”.
What I’m trying to do is to help victims learn to help themselves. There’s only one of me and there’s many thousands of you. Please learn to fight the system by reading and learning everything you can about it.
