CAN I GET A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE FATHER AND HIS FAMILY?

QUESTION: I really want this people out of my sons life , they have done nothing for him & all they wanna do is try and take custody of him to rubb it in my face , also my baby's dad brother wife that I hate so much for talkin so much crap about me and my baby wants to manipulate the CPS workers that I'm a bad mom , the only the reason my son was taken away was because of his dumbass dad for hitting me while my baby was inthe same room , so now his in jail & his parents are mad beacuse I put him there & wanna take my son away . So do I have the right , to tell CPS for them to stop seeing my son

MY RESPONSE: If the father hit you, you can seek a Domestic Violence Restraining Order against him, but not against his family, from the Court, as a result of his hitting you. You haven't set forth any facts in your question advising that any member of his family has been violent toward you or threatened you with violence. You can't get a DVRO against his family merely because they are his family. When you deal with CPS, I suggest that you request, instead of demand, that they not allow the father and his family to see your/his son. The CPS Social Worker has a lot of power, so you should take care not to offend the CPS Social Worker.
