Summary
In Nevada, CPS can contact friends and family during investigations but generally shouldnt disclose confidential information like drug test results. If they do, document the disclosure, file a complaint with Nevadas Division of Child and Family Services, and consult a local attorney specializing in privacy law. If a case has been closed with an agreement to dismiss future concerns, new cases shouldnt be initiated unless serious concerns arise. Voluntarily terminating parental rights during an ongoing CPS case is complex and requires court approval. To avoid CPS involvement, ensure the childs safety and well-being. If CPS violates your rights or protocol, you might be able to sue for damages, but this process is complex. If a caseworker lies, resulting in harm, you may have a claim for damages, but proving this can be challenging. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation

You can take the following steps:
- Document the disclosure.
- File a complaint with Nevada's Division of Child and Family Services.
- Consult with a local attorney specializing in privacy law.
If I have a previous closed case that states all future concerns be dismissed, can they open another case against me?
Hello ****! Generally, if a case has been closed with an agreement stating that all future concerns be dismissed, new cases shouldn't be initiated. However, serious concerns might prompt a new investigation. It's best to consult a local attorney for specifics.
Can I sign over my parental rights during an ongoing cps case to a qualified family member?
In Nevada, a parent can voluntarily terminate their parental rights, given that the court determines it's in the child's best interest. However, during an ongoing CPS case, it might be more complex. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
What could exempt a person from cps?
