Your facts are pretty confusing. It is unclear what is really going on, although it appears that you have at least two separate dimensions -- whatever ongoing conflicts you are having with your husband, and whatever case file CPS has started relating to a perceived danger to the kids from either your conflict with your husband or from some other source. You should try to obtain counsel if at all possible in advance of that initial court date, at which time everything will probably be clarified, but you may be able to get a copy of the initial CPS paperwork in advance, and you should try to do so.
