Re: moving out of state

Hello. You don't even want to think about moving

out of state at this time. The court would

probably hold you in contempt because it has

jurisdiction of you and your children. The

case needs to be closed. You certainly should

have legal representation. DCFS hearings can

be very difficult to deal with. Once the matter

is over, the court may still keep the case open

to see how the kids are progressing. I will be

happy to answer any additional questions that you

might have.
