RE: How to save on your legal fee's when dealing with Children's Aid Society (CAS)
It's not so much of a fight anymore. My ex was doing some bad shit to them and I had no recourse but to tell the CAS what she was doing (a costly mistake). They showed incredible BIAS towards me and let everything she did slide. I then realized they are corrupt on so many deeper political levels. In any case it was an order to get my kids therapy, and I used the children's lawyer to get more time with me. The review that the kids have been going to therapy is in JUNE. At that time I will demand CAS leave our lives as they have done nothing but hurt us. My kids hate them with a passion. I was unfairly grouped with my ex's 'deeds' as it was a political move. The CAS worker has admitted to me that they wish to withdraw as it has cost their organization more than my file was worth. The spanking allegation was created by my ex, but it brought the devil into our lives.
ok. that helps to understand the situation.
To be honest I'm a bit concerned about resteeming your post because it might make some people think that they should cooperate the first moment that they appear at your door, and let them in and let them talk to your children.
My last post was about how that is usually a terrible move:

.
However your advice sounds good if it's too late and you have already let them enter your home and thus already thrown away a lot of your rights to refuse their involvement.
@canadian-coconut it's your channel.. I'm just trying to help the best way I can. Sometimes not co-operating makes them pursue you even harder. That's all. Happy to put in your suggestions in the post. What is interesting is that collaboration is key. I think I edited a post before and it was resteem worthy. Perhaps.. I'll put your link in the post and your suggestions if it's TOO LATE!
Ok check it out. Hopefully we can do more collaboration like this. I'll write a post on responding to affidavits if necessary. I should be doing my own response in 15 days for the court review.
It is not too late to edit your post if you want to, but that's totally up to you.
I am feeling the pressure of trying to provide good advice pretty heavy right now because just yesterday I spoke to a woman on the phone who I have met about 4 times and is a friend of a friend -- who had 3 Social Workers show up at her door and demand to come in and speak to her children. They knew enough to say that they needed to find out what their rights were first, and my friend put them in touch with me.
I gave them the best advice that I could, which is that most of the time they do not have enough evidence to get a court order from the judge, and that is why they want in to fish around for more evidence so that they CAN take your children.
yet, there is always the possibility that they do have enough to already get that court order and if they do than your non-cooperation could work against you.
This winter another friend was hiding out with me while she tried to figure out how to handle social workers at her door. Her husband had told them "not without a court order" and the whole thing was finally closed without them ever talking to her children because they were just bluffing all along.
Amazing. it is a case by case scenario. It depends on where the allegations come. Sometimes the "source" of the evidence is enough to get that court order. Excellent collaboration and suggestion. I am glad I included the link to your blog. it wasn't even an option for me to "not" let them in although there was no court order. Even when my kids were taken away there wasn't a court order. They were just handed to my ex; big mistake on their part. Thanks for creating and basically funding this. I hope it makes a difference in people's lives. Perhaps two years ago it would have helped me. You are correct; admitting I spanked was what did me in. What a fool I was, but I had no idea their power at the time.
