What to do when CPS lies: 4 actionable steps

- File a Statement of Objections and Corrections.
- Hire an Attorney.
What happens if you lie on a order of protection?
Yes, even if your spouse lied his/her way into getting a protective order against you, there is nothing much you can do about it except wait for the court to decide whether to cancel the order or keep it. “As a result, he is criminally charged for violating the protective order.”
Can a parent make false accusations about their own child?
In some cases, the false accusations even come from your own children. Typically, this isn’t their own doing, though. It stems from the brainwashing of a parent. Parents that are involved in a nasty divorce might not hold back when talking to their children about their ex-spouse.
What to do if you are facing a false CPS report?
If you are facing a false CPS report, you have options. Depending on the complaint, the Department of Human Services (DHS) may choose to investigate whether it has any truth or not. Generally, caseworkers do their best to ensure that the allegations are unfounded if there appears to be no basis for them.
What happens if you are falsely accused of abuse or neglect?
If you are falsely accused of abuse or neglect, there’s an excellent chance that it’s because you are, or were recently, involved in a contentious legal battle over the child or children in question. If this is the case, you should contact the family law attorney who represents you.
What should I do if someone makes false allegations about me?
They cannot take the word of one single person, even the child. They have to look at all evidence. If an allegation is false, the best thing for you to do is give the investigator every resource to show that. Tell him or her why you think someone reported and what their motivation might have been.
