Quote From: lafoxyWe're in IL and our attorney told us if my husband's then 15yr old son refused to go to his mom's house on her weekend, all she could do was call the cops and they'd issue my husband a citation to appear in court. THey would not remove the child nor arrest my husband because it's a family law matter. Then, in court, we'd have our chance for his son to talk to the judge as to why he was refusing to go w/his mom. It end up that we called his mom's bluff and although she threatened to call the police and DCFS on my husband, she did not. Instead, his son worked out a deal where he sees his mom but not on weekends anymore (long story, lots of verbal abuse, crap about his dad and his sister's out of hand which all made my stepson not want to be at his mom's anymore.)
Just wanted to post this and am sorry your case seems so out of control. Shouldn't be like that.
WOW! I had the case in Kendall for 5 years then moved to Champaign County when I got married. Both Counties said they would use force to make my son go and if I did not make him get in the car I could be arrested! Pathetic I know but this is really messed up and I was told in both Counties he cannot speak or have any rights until he is 18 period! Thanks for letting me know though!
YES my case is out of control considering there has been 1 documented case of child abuse from DCFS and 1 current case of where I had to take out and Order Of Protection to get him back from a visitation where in fact he violated the Order and did not let him come home period! How much more can his abusive Father do???? The Courts do NOTHING but hand him right back over!
