Cps Caseworker Communication Concerns

Summary

If you stop communicating with your CPS caseworker, it may negatively impact your case, potentially leading to more severe actions like the removal of your children. In Oregon, you have the right to an attorney in CPS cases, and if you cant afford one, you can request a court-appointed attorney. Document all interactions with CPS and gather evidence of any misconduct. Consider filing a grievance against the caseworker. If you have fired your court-appointed attorney, notify the court in writing to request a new one and follow up with the court clerk. You can also request your complete case file from your former attorney by sending a formal written request.

Im located in oregon. My caseworker has turned everything i say to her around and uses it against me and has made up lies so much that i dont want to talk to her about anything anymore and they have already taken my son. CPS disregards my parental rights and has allowed things to happen without my consent and have placed my son in unsafe situations.
