Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My newborn babys father has prior charges. The other day he had come over trying to take the baby against my will. He is not on the birth certificate. As a result of everything, on top of his prior charges of assault he now has battery and domestic violence charges and is currently in jail. DCF has gotten involved. What damage with DCF would it do to my daughter and I if i called the state attorneys office and had the charges dropped?

DCF could theoretically get involved and try to say that you are failing to protect your child from domestic violence. While that is a very difficult thing to do sometimes, it is possible.
Keep in mind simply by calling the state attorney's office doesn't guarantee that the charges will be dropped. He needs a lawyer.
