  1. In the beginning they based ChildSupport on my income... then I got a job it increased, I was Fired, ever since its still based on my Job I had! I don't mind supporting my Daughter, But I have other children and it gets hard at times just on my husbands income alone! So I Say YES there is some type of fraud like the spokespersons in the Videos described going on in our State/County! That woman that Represents C.S in Family Court is a Total JERK she doesn't care what is going on in your home, "She jus wants Money~$$$~Money" She tries to make you look like a Deadbeat b4 the Judge, in order to get all the $$$ she can No matter What Circumstances are going on! They don't want to enforce visitation for the other parent even tho u MUST Pay Money & the child usually doesn't get a DIME Of it! As for 2nd ave IDK whats going on but I would like more details! Thanks for Reading The opinion of a deadbeat Mom Who Loves her daughter & would do anything for her including give her $$ even tho I Pay her Dad support!

  2. anytime dealing with cps ask for a copy of your records you have a legal right to them this includes a copy of 1st complaint now the name of the person that called will be blacked out
    also This is where knowing your rights becomes so very important. CPS does not have the right to investigate a family or children based on an anonymous CPS hotline phone call. They can attempt to perform an investigation, and if the parents or legal guardian allow them to by consenting to the investigation, they can use anything they gather or see during the investigation against the accused.

    However, if all CPS has to go on is an anonymous phone call placed to a CPS hotline, and the parent or legal guardian refuses to cooperate, the only things CPS can do at that point is call law enforcement, get a court order (without evidence, this is tough) or close the case uninvestigated. This is true even when the tipster is not anonymous, because anything the tipster says to CPS is hearsay until investigated or proven by some other means, and that other means is usually found during the investigation that isn't required to happen.
    Because the accused has a right to confront their accuser, as provided in the Sixth Amendment, hearsay is not admissible in court. Therefore, CPS cannot use information gained from a CPS hotline call as evidence in court for 'probable cause' to get an order to enter a home or remove a child.
    CPS will not tell you the legalese of the pamphlets and brochures they give you, but it comes down to this: you don't have to let them in your home, you don't have to let them talk to your child, and you do not have to cooperate with a CPS investigation.

    You do, however, have to cooperate with a police investigation. This is usually how CPS intimidates parents into cooperating. They will show up at your door with a police officer and ask to be let in to discuss things with you. Your response at that point should be, "I would be happy to comply, if you have a court order. Do you have an order to enter my home and search it and speak to my child?"

    If their answer is, "No," your response should be: "I'm sorry, then. I cannot let you enter. Thank you." Then close the door. A police officer might come with them, but that officer knows as well as you should that he can't force his way into your home. He's there for their safety and for the intimidation factor the gun and badge and uniforms brings for the social worker with CPS.
    the best thing is know your rights when dealing with CPS and keep your cool
