The time to fight the ridiculous charge from DCFS was last year. Unless you can produce evidence that statements against you were made up by your ex, you have an uphill battle on your hands. Your term of "she decided" indicates to me that your daughter is somewhere around the 14 year old range because no judge in Cook County Illinois will allow a child under that age to determine where she wants to live unless circumstance dictated it. You other hurdle is the Flordia court system. They may or may not honor any modification ordered by the other court. What I didn't hear in your question was why you wanted the child back. If it's a matter of money ask for an order of modification due to your financial situation, those are easy to come by but remember this, the interests of the child are paramount and both court systems will be looking at what's best for the child. If the child testifies that she is better off in Florida, your case is doomed before the onset.

Mom needs help getting joint custody of child back and clearing her name of a charge from DCFS.
Need to get joint custody of my daughter back, she "decided" to move to FL to live with her dad and he received (thru court) full custody & now gets child support from me, I am collecting unemployment and work part time as a cashier at Jewel, I was ordered to pay $440.00 per month in Child support, My mtg. alone is 2500 and car payment etc, I need to "clear" my name with the ridiculous charge over a year ago from DCFS & find a reasonably priced attorney to handle all paperwork....HELP
A custody battle ca be very hard,long and exspence, however if you want to fight to get your child back,or clear your name,then you can go to lowcostlawyersinallstates.com and you can also call or go online to your court house, for a list of low cost lawyers. I can tell you this if you have a 2,500.00 mortage payment alone, your not going to get the child support lowered. If your not wanting your child back and just want joint custody,the courts are not going to change custody from the father allowing joint custody now. It sounds like if you want to prusue this you will need a good lawyer.
