[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dilemma I am having with CPS is that there is not neglect or physical abuse. I will try to report him for verbal abuse, but I don't know how far that will go.

Talking to a lawyer is probably our best, realistic option now.

No maternal family contact... brother successfully cut them off a long time ago, and they have not fought it.

I would love to let her come live with us. I am worried the state might just take her away and put her in foster care before placing her with family. That's a risk we'll just have to take though. [/quote]

If it's not neglect or physical abuse, then CPS will not dispatch the storm troopers.  They will, however, be able to direct you (or him) to resources to help him out.  If it is abuse/neglect, they will work with the family before whisking her away.  And even if they say "sorry, can't help you <click>" then no harm, no foul, and you will have tried.  But the best people to tell if this does rise to abuse/neglect is CPS.[/quote]
