Child Protection Legal Process

Summary

When an abused child is found in Alberta, Child Protection Services (CPS) investigates, and the child may be placed in temporary custody. Parents could face criminal charges, and court proceedings will determine custody and legal consequences. In British Columbia, the process for a child protection order is similar, requiring details about the child, reasons for protection, parents information, affidavits, and requested orders. Legal advice is recommended for drafting applications.
