Yes. An ex did that to me. Just let them in, be cordial, humble, answer all their questions with respect and understanding. Show them what they want to see. Let them observe openly. It will pass. They are just doing thejr job.

Any engagement with CPS will turn into a nightmare. If you don’t have a lawyer, you better get one.

My ex had cps at my house 6 times after 3 complaints all unfounded. On the last visit I told the agent "no offense but I hope I never see you again". When that failed she called the cops 5 times. The first 2 calls were proven false. The later were for various other reasons related to our kids not wanting to go back there. When that failed, she called sheriff's. First an order of protection then subsequent violations and upgraded to stay away. Now I am lucky. Everyone knew she is pathological. I disregarded all orders and called her a liar every chance I could. I came to get the kids without any fucks given about the stay away which had a carve out to pick up the kids (makes no sense). In the end she got put in her place but never a slap on the wrist. I learned one thing along the way. Make fun of these agents if you have knees thick enough. Make lite of the intrusions. Develop top shelf sarcasm. The kids will fare much better watching you abuse these people. At one point I invited the sheriff's for tea when they knocked. Another time I asked the cop "how, hi are you ocipher?". The kids thought it hysterical. All 5 are top performers in highly competitive schools. None needed therapy. Now I probably needed therapy but the laughter and lack of any fucks given helped me get over the massive depression that started years ago upon my leaving my own kids and my own home into roach motel hell from a pathologal liar and cheat. My biggest lesson along the way, is that NOT taking any of these agents of state seriously, pretending for the kids and my new lady that they don't phase me, was the main reason for my recovery. Also ALOT of people here give terrible advice. Like "don't move out". Or "don't talk to your wife". Or "take all this very seriously". I pose a question. Do you think the system is really "in the best interest of the kids"? When you find the answer to this question, you will understand my rough approach.

I am dealing with something similar, but not as extreme.

Try to understand that you are not being asked to defend yourself. You are being put on the defensive. There's an important difference.

Are you divorced already? Did she say that you were doing these things when the kids were visiting you?

Get a family lawyer and get your kids a lawyer. Everything that you have done that your wife doesn't approve of will be magnified 10 fold. CPS can and will search your house without a warrant. They will dig up everything from when they were born to their current age-just by here say and a little coaching. They will interview their teachers, bus drivers, friends, and family. Get your ducks in a row.

I had them come to my house after my wife went to jail for DV against me. I was literally in my sleeping clothes and just told the truth. Some keys are dont bad mouth your wife. Don't talk yourself up. If you don't know, say I don't know. Keep the kids health and safety number one priority.

Mine was about domestic violence also false claims

-Most importantly stay calm during interview -If nothing happened then just be honest -show true emotion and be vulnerable about how much you love your kids and how hurtful the things she is saying are, cry a little if you can -don’t trash her just be firm that she isn’t being honest -Their perception of you is important wear clean clothes, shave/trim, haircut, some smell good etc. but don’t go over the the top like in a suit or anything -have you story straight, practice saying it, be confident in your truth

I’m really sorry you’re going through this and I wish you the best of luck, never back down, never settle, you’re not alone, find a lawyer who will fight for your rights as a man and father.
