CPS's first option is to place your child with a family member. To gain an order granting them conservatorship over your child, CPS will present an affidavit stating your circumstances to a judge. After reviewing the allegations, a judge will decide whether to issue an order that allows CPS to remove your child from your home. The most important thing you can do if CPS removes your children is contact a skilled family lawyer who will work to help keep your family intact.
