I'm just wondering how long can social services keep a family apart. My husband was asked to leave the house for approximately 3 months, but it looks like it could be longer. Is this right?

in my opinion social services needs to be done away with . They do not help the family they hurt the family and then they have the nerve to tell you to be a family again . they do more psycological damage than ever . you cannot seperate parents from the children and then when you put them back together think things are going to be okay. my nephew still has psycological trauma (this has been diagnosed by a shrink) due to him being taken away from his parents for almost a year . Only because his mother did not keep a clean house . Is nt that ridiculous and the only reason she did get him back was because my father has some friends in the pentagon that made things terribly uncomfortable for the social services agency. I would hate to think how long they would have kept him away if my father had not pulled those strings. social services ? no more like social witch hunts!!! good luck and god bless.

Social Services can do what they please when children are involved. in this case Im sure there are children involved. If your husband has been asked to leave, then something must be the cause of it, usually they will not separate families, unless he isnt there father. Sometimes they will pull the child from the home to make it easier. I have not had to ever deal with this, and hope I never will. But they have done this as a way of protection for the children, or you, if the children are seeing things they shouldnt be. I have had this happen to someone in my family. Her mother couldnt get temporary custody of the child because her husband had something on his record that pertained to years back (drug charge) before they were even married. He offered to move until everything was settled, but they refused to break up there family, so the child was placed in foster care. Social Services can be a great thing, but they are no one to mess with, they have more rights at times then the parents. Good luck with your situation.

Was he asked to leave or court-ordered to leave...if there are no consequences for his return he can come back whenever he likes...but if he comes back and then faces jail time he should stay away for the determined amount of time...
You also don't say why he was asked to leave...if it was because he is abusive I don't know why you would want him back..
But yeah, if social services has the law behind them...your at their mercy

Social Services "depending on the case usually takes at least 6 mths"I know this speaking as a foster parent!Good Luck!If they just asked your husband to
leave,then it problem means he will need to seek whatever help"which could just mean parneting classes" until he could be back at home with the children!God Bless!

I believe it all depends on the stability of the parents, are they willing to change and make things safe for the children? unfortunately\y once S.S's are involved the proof has to be through their judgment, and they can be some very stubborn social workers.

try your local surestart or ask at your doctors surgery. if not you could get together with other single mums who live close to you and try to organize a baby sitting rota.
