The time it takes to get your child back from CPS custody can vary depending on the case and why they were taken away.
Sometimes you can get your children back from CPS within a few months and sometimes it can take 12 months to 18 months and sometimes as long as 2 years before you get your child back from CPS.
Sometimes parents lose custody of their children forever and sometimes they deserve to lose their children especially if they are abusive or doing drugs.
But sometimes kids are taken away for stupid things such as a slightly dirty house, dirty clothes etc.
If you do have your child taken away from you through CPS then you need to hire a CPS lawyer that works with cases of children being taken away.
You can sometimes fight in court to get your children back yourself but sometimes it's best to hire a lawyer to help you get your child or children back from CPS.
