Situations
arise every day where families are in need of Child Protective
Services. Frequently, children are removed from dangerous
environments and become wards of the State. In legalese, this is
referred to as a dependency. Most of the time, CPS does a good job
of protecting children from abuse and neglect. However, there are
occasions when CPS is mistaken or received erroneous information.
Allegations of child abuse, molestation and neglect are devastating. The attorneys at Taubman & Associates have successfully represented parents who have been accused of abusing children. Frequently, allegations of abuse arise during custody disputes. Studies show that as many as 80% of abuse allegations that arise during a divorce or custody dispute are false. Sadly, a parent may fabricate allegations to gain leverage in their case. CPS, as well as your local police agency, is obligated to investigate such allegations.
