Is CPS Threatening to Remove Your Child?
If Child Protective Services has notified you of an investigation into removing your child, you have a right to legal representation to present evidence in your favor. Kerr & Hendershot attorneys are often called upon by the courts to serve as appointed attorneys ad litem to protect the interests of children in CPS cases. Our lawyers see things from both sides of the issue and know our way around the court process. In many cases, we can work out an alternative safety plan that includes extended family members and continued parenting time that the courts will find acceptable.
"Don't face a CPS hearing without an experienced lawyer at your side. We will gather the evidence required to present your case to prevent removing your child from your care. We work diligently with CPS and the family law courts to protect your custodial rights." — Managing Partner Simon "Trey" Hendershot, III
Contact our offices in Houston, Texas, to arrange a consultation. An experienced attorney will explain the process and what your county will expect from you.
Sometimes, Things Just Get Out of Control
Times are tough for families. Job frustrations and other social pressures can lead to some hard times. Child Protective Services isn't the enemy. It is a government program designed to protect your child's safety and best interests while parents work through some problems. Because attorneys at Kerr & Hendershot serve as court-appointed attorneys ad litem, we have seen some positive things that come out of CPS hearings. When we sit down to discuss your case, we will show you that sometimes, a temporary removal can give you the breathing space you need, while allowing you to be the best parent you can be. Let one of our experienced family law attorneys help you present a safety plan that works for everyone — especially your child.
