Confused, did your son get a ticket for suspended license as well or does your kid have a suspended license. I strongly suggest you hire an experienced attorney to assist you with these matters.

I cannot answer your question, as I do not know what your charge is. I do not know if your sentence above was before sentencing, what your prior record was, etc.
Hello,
A friend of mine told me that when he was younger (at least 4 years ago, most likely 5 or more) he had "taken advantage" of his sister (I think they were both minors). At the time he and his sister lived in Illinois, now he lives in New Mexico. My question is this: am I... View More

No. If you were a mandated reporter, maybe. Apparently you are not.
Id like to know how long it's going to take to see her again.
answered on Nov 4, 2017
Probably less than 24 hours. Depends on how many times she has done it. Her parents need to pick her up and she needs to promise not to do it again. Now, if she is on probation and curfew is part of her probation, then it could be longer.

If you do, and the custodial parent wants you back, they can have the police help them get you back.

She has rights to your religious upbringing until you become of age.
My girlfriends little brother is 15 and stole the keys to his parents car and drove with his friend, they got pulled over and fought by the police ,They ran away and the car is under his moms name, he's being sent to court.

There are a lot of different charges possible.
So, hard to tell how it will go.

There can be a lot of things you could be charged with--she is a minor and I hope you aren't having sex with a minor. Ditch the girlfriend--if she or her parent's ever get mad at you and call the police, then you can be in a world of trouble

If she is 18 and your probation officwr does not object, maybe.
answered on Aug 8, 2017
no you cannot. Your parents can report you as a runaway and any police officer (yes, even one out of state), can detain you and have you brought back to Illinois.

Not on your record on a juvenile but if u go to adult court it will be used against u.
I want to become an emancipated minor, but I'm not sure that the courts would agree with my specific situation. I've never been abused or neglected and my parents love me. The only thing is I'm extremely mature for my age, 14, and I want to enter the workforce and move out on my own.... View More
I have been the soul provider for her during the 7 years. I love her and want her to be safe and happy and mom in detox
I got pulled over driving my girlfriends car without a license. I got four different tickets. Will I go to jail because I can't pay for any of them and my mom refuses to help me with them?
answered on Jul 6, 2017
Yes
But if she refuses, the police are not likely to get involved.
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.
answered on Jul 5, 2017
You are probably supervising eligible and can request to speak to the prosecutor to work out a supervision offer
