I am wanting to find an attorney. Is child sexual exploitation considered family law?

I am not sure if it is considered family law or not. DCFS has founded sexual exploitation and penetration against my soon to be ex husband. I need to know what kind of an attorney to look for.
I am not wanting to press cheap prescription drugs without prescription criminal charges. However I am wanting to keep my children from him. I want to know that they are safe.
Criminal attorneys work for the defense, not prosecution. If you wish to know why charges are not being brought, you need to speak with someone in the district attorney’s office. You cannot hire an attorney to bring charges. It’s up to the state to do that.
EDIT: Your divorce attorney will handle the custody and visitation orders. Just give him or her the info you have from DCFS. (Divorce attorneys are family law.)

No, it’s criminal law.
A criminal attorney. Good Lord! That’s horrible! If the allegations against him are true I hope he gets life in prison.
It is if there is such a thing as "criminal family law."
A family attorney will handle your child custody and visitation issues with your ex-husband, so that would be a start. I would run your whole scenario by them, they can point you in the right direction if you change your mind and decide to press criminal charges later.
