Re: child custody
Without knowing much more information, it is impossible to answer your question. For instance, whether the child was present or not is important, as is the nature of the criminal offense itself.
Speeding is a misdemeanor, and if the child wasn't in the car, I wouldn't think that the Court would care. However, possession of marijuana when the child is present might yield a different result.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
