Yes, if the jury in a criminal trial can resolve that question then they can deprive the defendant of either their freedom or their life, making it the strongest burden in our court system.

Can you force the other parent to take your children once a month so you have a break?

Courts can enforce child support orders. But, they cannot "force" a parent to have a relationship with a child(ren). It is reasonable to assume that if a parent has to be "dragged" into a relationship with their children, it would not be a pleasant experience for anyone. Children should know they are loved and wanted as opposed to being a burden.

How are cases proven in court?

First you must keep in mind that in Federal court as well as most state courts, they must apply the "burden of Proof" this is usually a job performed by the ADA (Assistant District Atorney) If the ADA fails to prove their case "beyond a reasonable doubt, then in theory, the Jury or Judge, must acquit the defendant. In Florida, if you are subject to a parole hearing, parole violation, or any violation of probation, then there is NO BURDEN OF PROOF. All the ADA must prove is a plausible reason or proof that you may have done something, (I know it sucks) the burden of Proof only APPLIES in a JURY TRIAL. Hope this helps !!
