Cps Laws Parental Rights

Summary

In Kentucky, parents retain rights until legally terminated. CPS may intervene if a child is born with drugs in their system, potentially placing the child in foster care while the mother undergoes treatment. The mother can regain custody by proving she can provide a safe environment. CPS recommendations may be voluntary, but refusal can be viewed negatively. If CPS doesnt remove a child immediately, it may mean they are still assessing the situation. Always cooperate and consult an attorney for personalized advice.
