Re: wardship

I'm sorry, I am not sure if you said you were or were not accused of any wrongdoing. Generally, if you've complied with the court orders (all of them) and you have made sure FIA has the documentation there would be no reason to hold open a case except to keep the orders regarding Dad in place. Even still, you generally have to motion the Circuit Court for custody and maybe that is what needs to be done, but at any rate pester both the prosecutor's office FIA until they are responsive.
