The information contained on Fight CPS.Com is intended only to provide general guidance and research opportunity for those dealing with CPS agents, agencies, state "service" providers, courts, and lawyers. What is written on this website is not "legal advice".
I, Linda Martin, am the owner and primary author of all information on this website [unless otherwise stated] and I am NOT a lawyer. I am educated as a paralegal (I do legal research and writing) but primarily I'm just another activist working to expose and change the injustices of the child welfare system.
You are advised to consult a competent lawyer to get help with your case if at all possible. You will get only one chance to get the children back so there's no better time than now to get the best lawyer you possibly can.
There's no guarantee when dealing with these government agents. What works in one case may not work in others. Therefore there's no guarantee that the suggestions on this site will work. I worked hard to give you the best suggestions I could, gleaned from over fifteen years of working with activists and victims of the child welfare system. However CPS agents and cases are unpredictable and don't always follow a foreseeable pattern. Therefore I will not be responsible for any errors or omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of this information.
As of this time (2005) I’ve not made a profit on this site. I’ve sold a few books, then reinvested in other books to learn how to improve the site. And advertising profits have not been enough to pay for hosting costs. I’m just saying this so you know I’m definitely not getting rich off this site - but that’s okay with me. This site is a labor of love and a personal quest for justice - that’s why I do it and why I don’t mind spending my own money to keep it on the web. I decided not to take donations for this site - but if you want to donate, please do so by using the advertising links here to buy books or whatever you might need.
I do not make phone calls and prefer not to receive them. Everything I know about the system is on this website. I'm sorry that for many issues it isn't nearly enough information - but you're welcome to post your questions on the message forum where you may find someone who knows what you need to learn about. I don't know all the answers. I'm just one person who is distressed by the child welfare system and wants to do something to help people whose lives are being destroyed by child welfare injustices - so I started a website in October 2000 and what you see is the current version of that.
I do not work for or advocate for individual client families - I just don't have time - that's why I put whatever I could offer on this website for everyone to see. If you want me to answer a question about your case the best way to get attention is to leave a message on the message board. That's better than email because most likely you'll get responses from other advocates as well. I don't always answer my email because in the past I've gotten too much of it and I have a busy life besides just fighting CPS. All I can say about that is "I'm sorry" and "please use the message board instead".
What I'm trying to do is to help victims learn to help themselves. There's only one of me and there's many thousands of you. Please learn to fight the system by reading and learning everything you can about it.
