Out of control judge part deux.....

So, this is the second (or maybe more) addition to the tale begun in "Out of Control Judge"....

So, when we last met, the judge (the new one) had just ordered the attorney for CPS to file a motion for severance.  Well, they did....we set trial dates, called witnesses and I KICKED A*S!  My witnesses (who were people who provided services at the request of the State) all stated that my client (the father) not only completed all the services that the State requested but benefitted from same.  That is, in the parlance of the language of Juvenile Court, a big time kick a*s win for the parent.  After the witnesses had so testified, the State "all of a sudden" decides to withdraw it's motion to sever parental rights and set up a plan to place the children with the parent.  Yay!!  Win for the parent!!!!  We are on track for a complete dismissal.  We do a mediation to arrange for custody issues and we get kids placed with parent.  It is rocky because CPS doesn't want to provide the necessary paperwork in order for the parent to do things like enroll the kids in school, get medical care, etc.  It is still working well.  I am thinking that we are headed for a happy dismissal.......when, all of a sudden, CPS swoops in and re-removes the kids from the parent in late May and claims that "the parent hasn't benefitted from services" and alleges all sorts of crap!!!!!

to be continued....
