Our child is currently one and throughout this time the father only shows up to see him 2-3 times a month for about 15 minutes.

Unlikely that your filing a Family Law request for Child Support (current Child Support) will send him to jail. If he were in contempt of Court Orders for Child support and this became a DA matter, possibly.

I don't think he can go to jail if a family court orders child support. If he violates that order he could have additional problems, including loss of driving privilege. But, he can get the order modified if his income changes so it's really up to him to keep on top of the child support order.

Is there anyway i can avoid jail since we are in covid 19 pandemic.
Your lawyer knows the most likely outcome. Many counties require actual jail time for third offenses, Los Angeles is well-known for being over crowded and for sentences being completed well before the actual release date. Your lawyer may be able to ask for a sentencing alternative and you may... Read more »

Nope! Prescription or illicit drug DUI arrests don’t automatically trigger suspensions. You only lose your license if you are actually convicted of the DUI or they attempt to take it in another way.
Probably, if you weren't drunk the statute permitting the emergency response costs doesn't apply
if found innocent in court am i responsible for emergency response bill even though i was in a accident by myself.
In that situation, you would not have to pay the emergency response cost. (see GC 53150 and CHP v. Sup Court, a 2006 case). This requirement to pay is mostly for DUI + accidents or DUI + blocking roads etc. Look at the statute, it specifically requires being "under the influence".
I am going to court for this and have NOT been found guilty. Ive asked, e-mailed, and even wrote a letter to the city to stop harassing me. They continue to send letters stating that they will begin collection proceedings if i dont start making payments. What can I do?
Not much. If an accident you caused while intoxicated caused an emergency response, by law, you are responsible for the costs. While you can dicker over priced, most of the time it’s not a winning proposition.
My child isn’t his child. But he is Raising him as so. He is not adopted. So legally, my child is nothing to my ex.

OR 6 DAYS AND YOU HAVE DONE 2 AND CR FOR 2 MORE GOOD TIME............
I WOULD WANT TO SEE IF YOU ARE... Read more »
The law prohibits paying a public employee of any kind for them to provide you with personal services not available to the general public. This is called bribery. Both the person paying and the recipient are committing a crime.

He’s already completed everything he needed to do and paid all his fines. he just needs to get SR-22 and reinstate his license. are we able to move out of california and still be able to do so?
You can move out of state as long as he is not on a felony probation. Being on summary (usually misdemeanor) probation has no affect on your ability to move out of state (or even out of the country).

could you go to court alone if you are turning 18 before the court date ?
There are so many variables in this it’s hard to answer. The case will be handled in the juvenile courts. There certainly will be some very stiff punishments and more so if someone was injured. There will a significant license suspension of at least a year. Likely to be charged with multiple... Read more »

HOWEVER, IF IT WERE A RECENT DUI YOU CAN INSTALL THE IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE. (IID)
