ACS COURT TACTICS

Once a petition is filed ACS will attack the parents in two different ways. The ACS worker will visit the home and write reports for the court. These reports are given to the judge to advise the judge what the parents are doing in the case. This allows the ACS worker to manafacture allegations against the parents and present them to the judge as fact. Judges in family court rely on these reports when making decisions. Parents are often shocked at the content of these reports. In one case, we had an ACS worker claim that the parent pushed the worker out of the home. It was simply a lie. Ultimately ACS dismissed the case after a year of attacking the mother.
Another tactic is to file motions on Friday at 4pm and email them to the attorney or file them the day before court so the opposing attorney has little time to react. These are some of the basic tricks used against parents in court. We should always be vigilant when ACS is attacking our clients in court. Too many judges simply take ACS workers at their word. It is rare to see a family court judge take on ACS. They are a powerful agency and most judges are afraid of them, so they will try and accommodate most ACS requests. It is the main reason we need juries in family court.

THE DANGER OF THE ACS HOME VISITS

 The bulk of the street level work that ACS does is the home visit. ACS workers take this opportunity to attack the parents in any ay that they can. Initially the ACS worker will demand that the parents not record them. They will actually give you orders in your own home. Do not allow them to do this. If you have been contacted by ACS, contact our hotline at      917-519-8417 Do not speak to an acs worker without an attorney!! brooklynacslawyer.com queensacslawyer.com bronxacslawyer.com statenislandacslawyer.com sueacs.com
