Hiring an experienced attorney that can help you navigate the law and your rights when it comes to a CPS investigation can help you feel less stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c1\">The first, and most important thing to remember when dealing with CPS is that they don\u2019t want to take your children away from you, unless your child is unsafe. CPS strives to keep children with their families, as long as there is a safe, stable environment for the children. If they deem the situation to be unsafe, they will work to develop an alternate plan for the child(ren) as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c1\">In certain situations, your parental rights can be limited or even terminated. Contact an attorney that can help you navigate your CPS case and ensure that your rights are protected \u00a0throughout the proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c1\">For more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraldlaw.org\/staging\/what-you-need-to-know\/cps-child-protective-services-in-california-what-you-need-to-know\/\">CPS (Child Protective Services) in California &#8211; What You Need to Know<\/a><\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Child Protective Services (CPS)Their involvement is dreaded.
