Representing Foster Parents And Relatives Intervening In CPS Cases

When Child Protective Services (CPS) gets involved in a child’s life, it is typically because the child’s biological parents are unable to provide the safe, supportive home that every child deserves. As a foster parent or kinship relative looking to adopt, what are your rights with regard to the CPS case? How do you have a voice with regard to the child whom you have loved and cared for, perhaps for a substantial portion of their life?

I am passionate about helping people like you intervene in CPS cases to pursue custody or adoption of the child. I’m getting to be a part of that.

What To Know About Intervening In A Texas CPS Case

To have a say in what happens in a child’s CPS case, you must have legal standing to intervene. In Texas, foster parents are entitled to intervene if they have been fostering the child for at least 12 months. Kinship relatives are also able to intervene if they have played a meaningful role in the child’s daily life, serving as a parent or guardian.

CPS cases can be complicated because there are multiple parties involved – the agency, the biological parents and their attorneys, the foster parent or relative, and the attorney representing the child. For a settlement to happen, all parties must be in agreement. Cases that don’t reach a resolution via agreement end up in court before a judge or jury.
