What is the name of your state? AZ
I have a Question, not really legal, but here it is. What exactly does CPS look for when they are called to investigate someone?? I have a friend who's X called cps on her monday, because he believes she is an unfit parent. His reasoning is that she lives with her parents, at his house the son would have his own room and toys. He said that she is abusive because he has had 2 bruises and 1 bump on the head in the last 6mos. when X came to get the son. ( when son hit his head, she even called the Dr.'s to see if he needed to be taken to ER. they told her the signs to look for and said he should be OK. Any worries or concerns call them back.) The Xis getting married, He is 28, to his 19 yo GF and she decided after having son 2 days every/ every other week or so that she wants to "play mommy". The X thinks that because of his upcoming marriage his 'TWO PARENT" family will be better for the son. Until 6 weeks ago the X wouldn't let te GF around the the son. This has definately shaken me up, and it's not even me it's happening to. She is a good mom. the house is not trashy, there are no drugs,( yet the X smokes pot on a regular basis) he is not mistreated nor malnourished. She is very upset by all of this of course. It's bad enough she has to "bribe" him to take his son for visitation. The only way he will take him is if she returns the CS payment to him. His other "proof" that she is unfit is that she is mentally unstable, because she asked him to help her out with the son. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

. The girlfriend keeps calling, I told her to let the GF know that this is none of her business and you won't talk to her any more. If X needs to talk to her then he can call. I just got done talking to my friend, she said that the X & GF said it was GF's sister that called CPS. Because son was dirty after playing out side all afternoon while waiting for X(who was 2hours late). GF just keeps trying to threaten my friend saying "my mom is a Lawyer, I know we will win this". My son is 2 months older than her son. They are 3&1/2. Little boys get bumps and bruises AND DIRTY!! Thats what makes them tough. shoot, my son is just like me, you look at him and he bruises. He doesn't look like he's been beat. Their main gripe is that she still live with her parents. She lives in the addition to the house. It has it's own bathroom, entrance etc.
