Washington Order to DSS to Release CPS Information (Non-Parent Custody) is a legal document that allows a non-parent with custody of a child to request disclosure of information from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSS) regarding Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement with the child. The non-parent must provide proof of guardianship or custody of the child before the request can be fulfilled. The Washington Order to DSS to Release CPS Information (Non-Parent Custody) can take two forms: 1. The Non-Parent Custodian Disclosure Authorization Form (DSS Form 17-181) — This is a form that must be completed by the non-parent custodian and submitted to DSS with proof of guardianship or custody, such as a court order or guardianship declaration. 2. The Non-Parent Custodian Letter of Request (DSS Form 17-182) — This is a letter written by the non-parent custodian requesting disclosure of CPS information and signed by the custodian. The letter must be accompanied by proof of guardianship or custody, such as a court order or guardianship declaration. In either case, the Washington Order to DSS to Release CPS Information (Non-Parent Custody) allows DSS to disclose CPS information to the non-parent custodian, so long as the custodian can prove guardianship or custody of the child in question.
