Child Protective Services

Answers:
My husband has called CPS on me concerning my daughter from another relationship. He has bipolar, hasn't taken his medication, and I think he is thinking that if she gets taken from me, then he can get custody of my unborn baby. Does anyone have any advice? There is absolutely no reason that she should be taken from me. I used to live in this small town, and I moved to the neighboring town, but people are still pretending they see me with her. I feel like I live in a soap opera! I'm not sure of your whole situation, but a few years back my sister's ex tried the same thing, only it was because they had just separated and she told him he wanted a divorce. He lied and made up things to get them to come. She calmly explained the situation, they talked to her, her son and then realized the problem was her ex and she hasn't had a problem since. As long as your daughter is healthy and not being abuse, they'll be able to see for themselves and you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck!

same thing happened with a friend of mine when she split with her boyfriend and father of her three kids... she did the same thing and had the child protection service come to interview her and in the end they decided that if anyone needed to stay away from the kids it was her boyfriend. so as long as there is no reason for them to be there you should have no reason not to let them in. if its all good then i say let them come talk to you and in the end you wont have to worry about some of that custody stuff. he is building his own case against himself by filing false accusations. if there is a custody issue with the new baby and you are all cleared and they find he was lying you will have one more nail for his coffin!

This just happened to my best friend. Her and her husband have been divorced for about a year or so, and he called CPS on her because he is getting remarried and can't have any more children due to his having cancer several years back. He wants to take their son away because he know he'll never have a child of his own with his new wife.
So he filed a false claim with CPS, and they interviewed the son, who is about 9, and asked him on 4 separate occaisions in 4 different ways whether the alleged incident occurred. Each time, the son was confused about why they would ask this question, but he reiterated what really happened. And later, his mom found out that he was being coached by the father to say something bad about the mom, but luckily, the kid was smart enough not to make up lies.
So CPS believed the kid, as they rightfully should, and they closed the case because they realized the allegations were false. And I believe my friend will be going after him now in court, because it's a fact that filing a false claim with CPS is a felony and if your husband is discovered having done this, he could very well go to jail. But you'd have to get a lawyer to prosecute him.
