Yes, because you put your kids in danger so of course it is legal. Your children could have been seriously injured or killed. I am always reading about a car accident where a child was ejected from the vehicle due to lack of restraints.

You should not have been driving due to several factors. Why did you take the risk? You had no business behind the wheel of that car, expecially with kids.

All you can do is improve your life, pay your fines, get your license back, get insurance, and prove to the courts you should be entitled to at least visits with the kids.

Focus on taking seeing your your children and being a mom to them instead of questioning the legaility of what was done.

Yes but Dad is still Dad and he is entitled to custody if custody for whatever reason is removed from the mother.

Social Services should be comminucating with you and give you some sort of parenting plan/classes to take. You can call around to attorney's for help.

Have you been criminally charged with anything or convicted?
