Child Protective Service Terminating a case

[sweetkindgal08]

What is the name of your state? California

Please read carefully what I write down before answering. November of 2005 child protective service removed the children from my ex home because they felt it was not safe, they were in a very unhealthy situation. Child Protective service opened up a case and awarded me full custody. Child Protective Servie gave my ex 6 months to comply with the 4 programs that was orderd by the court. My ex refused to do what they asked, in fact according to the documents filed in court he was not cooperative at all he said he wouldn't do anything for any Judge. So now as of June 2006 the case was teriminated I was awarded legal custody 100% and the judge and case worker said there was no visitation schedule set that I was going to be the one to monitor the visits at the girls request if desired too. They are 15 and 18. So mainly this pertains to the 15 year old only.

Now when a case is terminated because the accuser didn't want to do what the judge saids does everything go back to normal? My ex seems to think he has rights. Everyone said to me he's in denial but I have to go back to cour in a few weeks and I want to make sure I have facts straight. Now is this a comment only a famly lawyer could answer? should I call the lawyer who was assigned to my daughters?

Thanks any advice would help.

reasons going to court

I'm going to court because my ex won't pay for half of all uncovered medical bills. He has had all the bills and statements since last year and he's just being petty. These are his daughters and I've had no reply or cooperation from either him or his lawyer.

He said I shoudl consult him when I take them to the docotors but no were does it say I need to ask him. I agree if it was a major surgery or cosmetic then thats diffirent.

He also said I should show him how the bills were paid. No were does it say in our papers that I have to show him my statements. I give him the statements from the doctor saying I paid but also he's the memeber so all the statements go to him.

This has been frustrating.

so you are going for a support related matter? why are you worried about visits? he would be stupid to even bring it up by the way

If your ex has the "right" to pay the bills, as required by the court order, don't you think that he also has "rights" to the visitation schedule, as se tby the court order?

Or, am I missing something?

You're not missing anything -- you merely have excessive logic.

To clerify

Please read my reply on top. Thank you

Since the case was terminated by Child Protective Service, and I now have full custody no visitation schedule only that if the girls were to ever see him I would be the monitor.

So with that said .Do I still need to consult him when ever I need to take the girls to see a doctor?

If you don't know for sure then thats ok. I plan on calling the Lawyer who represented the girls anyway.

Bye

We can't see your divorce decree, or whatever the court papers are. So, we can't answer that question.

However, since it only states that you get to monitor, then you don't get to withhold the kids from their father.

No, nothing is back to normal. YOU have sole legal & physical custody and visitation is at your discretion. That means if you feel it's wise to have the 15 yr old visit, you can allow it...However, since Dad DID NOT complete CPS suggestions/case plan~ you have a valid reason to deny him, as well as if your daughter doesn't want to visit him.

You can call the Minor's Attorney, but they will tell you the same thing. You are not obligated to allow visitation, it's up to your discretion and your daughter's wishes.

Obviously there was abuse/neglect and failure for father to participate in the CPS case plan. In this case the Judge and Caseworker and Minor's Attorney all decided the child only had to visit IF SHE WANTED TO..and only in OP's home w/her monitoring the visits.

I agree, that's crystal clear. The judge made a decision based on CPS recommendations. Mom is also not required to consult with dad regarding medical issues either. She has full custody now.
