My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
I have been charged with ID theft and have to go to court in a week. I used my daughter's name to get a credit card. I paid on it for months then I stopped because of money issues. I know this was bad but I didn't know just how bad. I am so ashamed and embarrassed, but also very scared. I had a clean record with not even a traffic ticket. When I go to court what could happen to me?
My ex-husband turned me in and now he's going to use it to try and take my daughter away. (we have joint custody) PLEASE can someone tell me what might happen??? I'm freaking out. Whatever happens to me is one thing, I did something very wrong, but to lose my daughter would kill me.
