Q: I spank my step child with a belt,and was charge with 948.03(2)(b) . What is the worse that could happen?
My step daughter had been disrespecting her mom,and I finally got tired of it. So I hit her with the belt 3-4 times. But she has been in and out of trouble for the last 2yrs,but the system won't do nothing to her.Now my other ? is,now that she has moved to Oklahoma with her dad. What are my chances of getting this remove?
A:
This offense would be a class H felony, exposing you to six years in the state prison system and/or a $10,000 fine.
There are also many other consequences to becoming a convicted felon.
I highly recommend that you get an attorney on board as soon as possible.
