Timeline
Record dates, hearings, contacts, caseworker changes, safety plans, service-plan events, testing, treatment, visitation, notices, and deadlines.
Parent and family education
Build a clear record of what happened
CaseOps is designed to help families organize dates, documents, communications, allegations, services, visits, hearings, missing records, and questions for counsel without treating a family statement or agency allegation as automatically proven.
What families can organize
A case can become difficult to understand when information is scattered across court papers, texts, emails, case plans, testing records, treatment proof, school or medical records, visitation notes, and changing caseworkers. CaseOps is built to structure that material for review.
Evidence ledger
Separate what a document supports from what a person says, what remains disputed, what needs corroboration, and what is still missing.
Missing-record list
Track records that may need to be requested, obtained through counsel, preserved, corrected, or reviewed for completeness.
Communication history
Organize contact attempts, notices, caseworker communications, attorney communications, and known scheduling information by source and date.
Service and visitation record
Maintain documented participation, completion proof, missed or changed appointments, visitation history, and unresolved service-plan questions.
Questions for counsel
Turn a large record into a focused list of unresolved facts, missing evidence, hearing-preparation needs, and legal questions for a qualified attorney.
Keep different kinds of information separate
- Parent statement: what the parent reports.
- Agency statement: what CPS/MDCPS reports or alleges.
- Witness statement: what another person reports.
- Document-supported event: an event supported by a retained record.
- Court finding: what a court order or transcript actually establishes.
- Disputed or unresolved: material that should not be presented as settled fact.
What CaseOps does not decide
Legal strategy
CaseOps can organize information and research candidates, but legal strategy and court decisions remain attorney-controlled.
Whether an allegation is true
An allegation remains an allegation unless reliable evidence, stipulation, or a court finding supports a different status.
Whether a filing should be made
Drafting or filing decisions require qualified legal review; CaseOps does not automatically file in court.
Frequently asked questions
Is CaseOps a lawyer?
No. CaseOps is a case-organization, evidence, education, and investigation-support system. It does not provide legal representation.
Can CaseOps help me prepare for a meeting with my attorney?
It is designed to help organize chronology, evidence questions, missing records, witness information, deadlines, and unresolved issues so qualified counsel can review a clearer record.
Can I upload my CPS file on this public site?
No. The public Alpha Dog website is not authorized for protected case evidence. Use it only for general, non-confidential scope information.
