Child Protective Services and Your Divorce

Experiencing hardship in your family and witnessing physical or emotional abuse can be a very difficult and painful process. Luckily there are public services which exist to keep children and families in safe and healthy living conditions. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (FPS) oversee the Child Protective Services (CPS) program which works to do just that.

The Role CPS Can Have in Your Divorce

There are many family details that can be discussed and considered when divorce proceedings begin in an effort to make sure the best decisions are made for all those involved. If your children have been involved in a CPS case the following considerations may be discussed throughout your divorce proceedings:

• What situation the child was in
• If the child has since been in a healthier situation
• What, if any, reports of abuse were filed concerning one or both parents
• Any observations or commentary on behalf of the CPS worker

When child custody is considered as part of a divorce case the court and both parties will often take all details into consideration to come up with the most appropriate custody decision.
