I hate to tell you this but you are out of luck. DCFS in Illinois has Carte-Blanche to do whatever they please. A court will always rule in thier favor even when they have been proven wrong.

Dear Friend,\n\nThe best thing to do is get a lawyer.  There is no substitute for your own legal counsel.  That said, here are a few ideas -- not legal advice, just common sense.\n\nFirst, document everything having to do with this incident.  Write down all of your recollections of the encounter.  Get a copy of the phone record that you called 911 (in connection with this woman) which will make the real reason for ther retaliatory claim obvious.\n\nNext, did you get the names of the police officers who responded to the call?  They might be able to testify as to the condition of the car, the circumstances of the meeting, her talking about (or not talking about) any scratches.  If you didn't get the names of the officers, the police might still be able to tell you through their dispatch logs.  Few people make better witnesses than the police.  If they won't voluntarily appear on your behalf, consider getting a subpoena to compel appearance (as a last resort).\n\nAlso, were there any other witnesses?  Make a list.  Talk to each of them and see what they saw.  Did they see damage to the cars?\n\nIf this goes to court, demand proof.  Demand a chance to have your own mechanic look at the "damage."  Demand an explanation of how toddlers caused major auto body damage.  If she has pictures, ask how we can tell what date they were taken.  Demand to see her police report, mechanic report, insurance report.\n\nIt sounds to me like a shakedown.  If so, tell her you won't pay her one red cent.  \n\nYours in Him,\nFrancesois

Although I don't agree with the idea of you aiding this guy, you may want to call social services (or whatever they call it in your state) at the prison.  They will be able to answer all your questions and guide you in the right direction.  Good luck and make sure you keep those daughters safe whatever you do with him.

Alright im not going to get too deep into this one here.  Your more than welcome to email me or IM me on... irreplaceably_rare@yahoo.com.  You need to call your local court house and ask for a Probono Lawyer that deals with your type of case... also ask for the number for the " State Bar... They normally have phone numbers of people to contact.  Here is the real issue, they didnt take the child out of the hands of someone abusing them when they should have, You need to also contact someone federally, I would need to know what state you are in, in order to give you the correct people to call.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou should look into suing the state for not taking the child out of the hands of the abuser.... Could be worth a lot, this case... I mean, nothing can add up to a childs life, But maybe they can help you get what you deserve.\n\n\n\nIn any event sorry for your loss, and good luck.

I doubt that incident will make a judge decide to give you custody.\nIt helps your case that he didn't see her. I doubt he'll even go to jail, but I don't have the details I need to make that decision. You are right not to expect too much. The DA will make a decision as to whether this matter will be brought to court. It sounds like you kept your part of the order when you sent your daughter to visit him. Did you know that your son would not be allowed? Did you send your son knowing that your x would not allow that? I am not trying to be dispectful, but am trying to point out possiblies. If you can afford it, hire an attorney to help  you with the matter.

Ask for a manager next time. Explain the situation and tell them you do not want your number called again.  If they persist you will file claims of harrassment against the individuals and their company.  Remind them that your daughter is her own legal guardian. (if this is not true, then they entered into a contract with a minor and you may have some liability here.

First of all, she disobeyed the law by taking the child out of state without the father's permission! The state police should be called, and ask the child to be put on a missing child hot line or Missing children web site. I would also call the State's News Station and explain that you are trying to find this person and your Grandson. Your son would have to do this, as he is the only one with the authority. I would also call the Welfare department, they love to hear from the father's of children receiving welfare, and tell them what has happened. She could be prosecuted for welfare fraud and I'm sure they would have no problem finding her address. Tell them you wish the police to pick up the child or call social services in the area. All this must be done by your son.\n\nHope this helps.

WOW you stepped in it this time. She is illegal, get her deported and take out an order that stops her from taking your child (an American citizen) you can do that I've seen it done in Virginia. I forget what it is called but if your lawyer doesn't know what to file ask him to ask another lawyer maybe one that has been around a while.

yeah i would say you would know by now, you should call her lawyer or retain one yourself, It is better if you get one, more communication can be done between them.

Yes, you need to take this deadbeat to court.  I don't know where you live, so it I can't give you any specific advice, but every city has people (usually in the family assistance office) that can help you with the paperwork.\n\nYou may not want to see this guy again, but your child--HIS child--needs financial support, and you should get it for your daughter.

No. Legally, you are responsible for him/her. Your only real course of actions would be to try and get relief of custody from the state.

As a social worker you are not the priority and even if it is a private agency you are not a customer, at least as far as agency policy goes.  The mother may have changed her mind and or her rights are not completely severed until 30 days after the child is born she can change her mind.  As far as getting your money back i don't think there is a way sorry

If you can prove to a court that she is an unfit mother than the baby is yours.  The court doesn't care about you or the mother.  They want the best for the child, If I was you the only way to win is to play dirty.  Get a private investigator he'll help you more then a lawyer will.  Have him dig up some dirt and use it against her.  Believe me I'm a woman that child is nothing but a pawn to her.  She kept her from you probably claiming she was some one else's.  That guy probably got smart you were her plan B.  Find out why you didn't know of her for those two years and why all of the sudden she's asking you for child support.  Oh and she can't deny you visitation, you pay child support she can't as much as take that child out of state lines without letting you know.  Boy read up on your right or she'll play you like a fool. Good Luck

First of all there was a lot you could do and it would have been much simpler to do it, you should have taken your son to a safe place, and left that crazy,immature,self centered,imbecile of a girlfriend of yours to do whatever she chose to do.\n Now you have opened a serious can or worms, even with a good lawyer you are in for a nightmare.child services can get involved,and you probably have no witness or way to prove any of your story,and even if you did,your still going to have to deal with kicking and striking her ,and to compound it ,the child was in the house at the time.\n What you need is a good lawyer,voluntarily get yourself enrolled in parenting classes,and counseling,and try to get your parents or some responsible adult to petition for temporary custody on the grounds of best interest of the child.\n Once this is resolved,petition for custody of the child,or a declaration of guardianship for your son, and petition for your girlfriend to have supervised visitation with her son only.\n Good luck, get enrolled in parenting classes and counseling today,to demonstrate your responsibility and intention to the court ,they aren't going for the "what else could I do" defense, and get yourself a good family lawyer who specializes in child disposition cases.
