DUI with child now involves CPS

Posted Tuesday, July 7, 2015 by Andrew Charles Huff

A DUI arrest, charge and conviction can all have devastating consequences on your life, license, finances, job, etc. And now Child Protective Services (CPS) will get involved if you are arrested for a DUI with a minor child in the vehicle. Under this somewhat new law, such an arrest will trigger in investigation by Washington Child Protective Services. The purpose of this referral is not to remove the child from parental custody, but rather to perform a welfare check to ensure the child is not in any immediate danger or being harmed.
