    You seem to know what's going on... So let me ask this: is there a time frame that they work with? I'm under the impression that they do a "plan" that we all agree to and sign off on for us to work on... When would this come into play? When should I expect something? And what if I never hear from them? Then what? I just hate the unknown.

    There are no statutory time-limits during which an investigation must be completed; there is no single method of investigation.

    We cannot know the intimate details of your specific case, hence we cannot guess as to CPS' motivation or what they're doing in any given situation.

    You need to get your drivers license. CPS can remove the children if they believe they are in danger. You and your husband need to get the counseling before CPS takes the kids.

    I disagree. They can't remove the children without a court order in which the court believes the children are in danger. The family doesn't have to do ANYTHING that CPS requests.

    Actually many states have time periods which are normally in the administrative code.

    As you know, the difference between responding to CPS requests and refusing cooperation can translate into the difference between an informal resolution and having to go to court for a protective services case. When you don't want to comply with CPS instructions, it makes sense to 'lawyer up'.

    Some states will appoint counsel for a protective services case. I don't disagree with you but OP doesn't have to keep her husband out of the house forever just because CPS wants that.

    But by that point, there's already an open case -- which, in my opinion, it's best to avoid.

    No argument, there. The only question is how to bring him home without escalating the situation.
