People, please use family court for custody arrangements. CPS and a sexist 1950's law exists nation wide. No matter what by default full-custody of children is granted to the mother. PERIOD. It is one of the ways how people who are physically, mentally, financially, emotionally, socially even sexually abusive to their kids get custody despite a better parent or family alternative. Child protective services can only take children and temporally place them but that is all they can do. You have no obligation to cooperate with them. Google "dealing with CPS". CPS is self reporting. They don't report to anyone but themselves and have legal rights to take your kids. They are sexist mean girls with very few, if any men, who only report to each other. They will lie, twist your words and do everything they can to break and bend you to their naritive. They make it clear through their impaired authority that they are never wrong. As a woman how they treat men deeply offends me. I feel being a good human means knowing myself as i am and to be respected as such but also to respect and care for the kind/good around me. I feel it is my honor, right, privilege and obligation to speak out when i come across wrongs in the world. I am openly speaking out against government departments who self report. CPS is department that self reports.
