You would have to get a whole new stalking no-contact order. IF you do not want to do it yourself, then contact me and I can give you a referral to a Rockford attorney.
You could also contact the local sheriff's office and have them serve her with a trespass/no-contact letter BUT that... View More 
So we are trying to get her back from dcfs, her mother lost custody of her while he was in prison.

Unless the DCFS worker believes the unborn child is at risk (doing drugs, history of violenc etc.) she shouldn't be making a hotline call. The only concern would be living conditions--if there is enough space in the household for an extra child.

call the police and contact his probation officer to make a report. I would also file an order of protection against him as well.

You cannot get it expunged by the regular procedure. You would have to petition for clemency to the governor and ask for a pardon and permission to expunge. You can hire a local attorney to help you out with this
I have gotten one ticket for failure to yield on a left hand turn a while ago but I got court supervision and it didn't go on my record. What should I ask for or do on this speeding ticket? It is my first speeding ticket.

You are probably supervising eligible and can request to speak to the prosecutor to work out a supervision offer

If there isn't a court order in place then you can move. If there is a court order then you should see an attorney about getting the visitation order modified to take into account the relocation. If you know you are going to move then I wouldn't hesitate going to court asap

If you didn't get any tickets for open container of alcohol then likely nothing will happen. The State's Attorney's office may call you as a witness if they need you to testify though.

If you don't appear in court, then they can file a contempt petition against you or get a warrant out for your arrest. As a victim, you can hire your own attorney if you'd like and see if they can speak to the assistant state's attorney on your behalf.

You'd have to ask DOC about any restrictions on visitations. I don't know why you'd want to visit him though if he had battered you in the past.

Unless you are a witness yourself, there isn't much you can do. You should really talk to your boyfriend's attorney on how to proceed. Have charges been filed yet? If not, the assigned prosecutor may be willing to hear you out.
You also cannot "make" anyone confess.... View More

Yes--it would likely be file as a juvenile delinquency proceeding
Lies about where he's going, not doing well in school etc.

if you kick him out of your house, then DCFS will be called. If you can agree on having him live with a relative or a family friend, that would be the best situation. Once he turns 18, you can't just automatically kick him out. You would have to go through an eviction process and a lawyer... View More

I would be more concerned about the possibility of jail time. That type of speeding is a Class B misdemeanor. You should really hire a lawyer. I don't believe supervision is possible for this type of offense. I don't know about losing your license for this off of the top of my head but... View More

A juvenile is require to have a lawyer. If you cannot afford one then one of the first court date the judge will likely have you fill out a financial affidavit and will assign a public defender if you are indigent

You need to get a visitation order/parenting plan in place. I am assuming the ex is the mother? She is presumed the custodian unless there is a court order in place.
How can he get an order of visitation
answered on Jul 5, 2017
You need to file a petition and go to court. I would suggest finding a good family lawyer to do this.
