The State of Nevada takes the safety and well-being of children very seriously. In most cases involving allegations of child abuse, a CPS (child protective services) investigation soon follows. Though it may feel like you are being charged with a criminal offense, child abuse and neglect cases are actually a civil proceeding. However, the consequences can still have a devastating impact on a person’s family, especially the relationship with their children.

What to do if Under CPS Investigation
If Child Protective Services accuses a parent or guardian of child neglect, an investigation will take place and the individual is at risk of losing custody of the child. It is important to keep in mind the investigation is handled by experienced social workers and investigators.
It is highly recommended to consult an experienced CPS defense attorney immediately following accusations of child abuse or neglect.
A few helpful tips for dealing with interactions involving CPS are:
- Do not talk to child protective services and any representatives without an attorney present
- Keep a detailed record of any attempts of CPS to contact you
- Be mindful any statements can be used against you in child custody proceedings (and criminal proceedings, if initiated)
- Speak with your attorney before consenting to any psychological evaluations for yourself and your child
- Speak with your lawyer before consenting to any drug testing for yourself and your child
