Domestic violence survivors’ rights with CPS

Know your rights: 

• CPS should ask about domestic violence and what you’re doing to keep your kids safe
• CPS must try to keep you and your kids together – that includes helping you all stay safe from the abuser
• CPS should not hold you responsible for things the abuser does

The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence has more information to know your rights with CPS

If you need help with CPS, you can: 

• Talk to your attorney (if you have one assigned to your case)
• Ask the Office of the Family and Children’s Ombudsman for help at (800) 571-7321
• Call the Children’s Administration’s Office of Constituent Relations at (800) 723-4831
• Talk to a domestic violence advocate

社区组织可以提供帮助！如果您曾遭受家庭暴力、骚扰、跟踪或性侵犯，或者受到任何相关威胁，请向当地家庭暴力庇护所或性侵犯援助中心寻求帮助。庇护所为您提供安全规划、临时庇护所、法律支持、咨询以及其他服务。
