If there is a court case pending regarding your child, then you need to get involved in it. You may file what is called a Petition to Intervene. If there is not a court case, then you need to start one. If you signed an acknowledgement of paternity or have been adjudicated to be the father, and CPS has written notice of your current address, they should be providing you notice in the proceedings. There may even be an attorney who was appointed to represent your interests if CPS has alleged they could not find you. You need to act quickly to obtain a copy of the court orders and be sure that you are a party in the case.
