I don't know how to add comments... I'm a nervous wreck right now only becuse my ex husband does any and everything possible to screw me over. The state i live in is Illinois the county is Dupage. The charges were child abuse againist my ex husband I was not involved in this case only being the person that called the police and started all of this because my ex-husband seriously choked and beat my son I was only there to protect him from doing this again now I can be held for perjury againist him who cares if I told him to do it or not the idiot beat my son and got of scott free. Now I can get jail time the system is really jacked up fine if I have to serve time for doing right then oh well.

You stayed with the man who almost killed your son, you should have left. By staying you told the police, children services, etc you are okay with and support your husband's actions. You became your husband's accomplice, not your son's protector.

I didn't see your first post, so let me try to give a semi-intelligent answer: You can only be charged with perjury if you lied in a court of law. If you lied to police officers who were acting in the course of a formal investigation, you can be charged with obstruction of justice. If you made any attempt to get your ex-husband to commit any type of crime (e.g., asked him to lie to the police or the court for you, paid him to destroy evidence, etc.), you can be charged with soliciting another to commit an offense. The key word here is that you CAN be charged. That doesn't mean you WILL be charged. First, the police have to provide proof that you committed some sort of crime. At that point, the District Attorney will decide what is to be done. If he/she thinks the evidence against you isn't strong enough or that there are mitigating circumstances (e.g., you were trying to protect your son) he/she can decide not to file charges. I'd have to know more of the particulars about your case before I could tell you what you may be facing...

The courts care if you told him to beat your son, or not. I am sure your son cares too. As I stated earlier, you ex is full of shyt and is only attempting to make your life miserable. How did he get possession of the kid anyway? You screw up somewhere?

You really need to talk to a licensed attorney. Someone who is not licensed should not be giving you legal advice. That is unathorized practice of law, and not only can that person get in trouble, but the odds are that the advice you get won't help you much anyway.

Did you tell him to do it?
You're not much better than he is.
