Q: mother being charged first time with child endangerment. DCFS pulled child from home. What's the sentencing typically?
She has had multiple instances with DCFS. DCFS pulled the child from her home is now living with dad out of state. Mom and boyfriend were found under the influence of heroine and alcohol. Will she typically go to jail, only be slapped with a fine? How do we make sure the child isn't forced to go back to mom? She's happy and wants to stay with dad. Not sure what this means in terms of custody and whether or not we can stop child support.
A:
DCFS doesn't do criminal.
The father needs to go to court to get the parenting plan changed to give him primary care.
If he has child, he can go to court to stop child support.
