Question about child custody?

Question

My ex- sister in law is the custodial guardian to my brothers two children, She allows the two boys to come spend time with me, Recently my brother started an argument saying that she needs his permission to let the kids stay with me or next time he would call the police and have them removed. They do not have shared custody..my brother only gets them every other weekend and even then my parents watch the kids..he does not. Is there a law preventing the ex from allowing her kids to stay with me without his permission? Would the police respond to his request? Also, my ex sister in law does not say anything to my brother about where the kids stay when he has them but im sure she would have a better argument as custodial guardian

Answer 1

Sounds like a very frustrating and confusing situation for everyone involved. Let me clarify that I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. That being said, first of all, it could depend on the state in which you reside. However, considering that she is the custodial parent, there is no joint custody issue, to my knowledge she does not need his permission regarding any matters with the children. The only option he may have to involve the authorities, such as Child Protective Services, would be if he suspects abuse/neglect on your part, if a court order has been issued suspending your contact with the children, or if you have a criminal background, and would not suitable to be in the company of children. If that is not the case, he would have no reason to contest that the children are being left in your care.

Answer 2

Letting them spend some time with your should not be problem. Unless you have abused the children, then you have a problem. It seems that it's your brother that has the problem with you. Maybe you two need to talk. It's not the children, its something about you that's got him upset. So talk to him. There's nothing that he can do since you are a blood relative like I said unless you are harming the children. If he calls the police, he will look like a fool. Also with some men it's all about trying to control the ex.

Answer 3

If she is the legal guardian of the children and they reside full time with her, she can decide where they can go without permission. The only thing your brother can do is block visits if the children are at risk or in danger in your care. He may say this even if they aren't, but he would have to show proof.

Answer 4

No. He can't tell her where the kids can spend time. The only thing he can do is go back and modify the custody arrangement. And the only way you'd be prevented from seeing the children is if you were determined to be a danger to them in some way.

He's just being a twit.

Answer 5

I don't think the police could do anything about that. As long as the kids are safe and you are a relative it should n't matter. Your brother promblems goes deep. It is something deeper than that i feel like if it that much of a promblem you go over there and sees them. take care

Answer 6

u could go into court and let a judge settle it dont u and brother get along not sure why your brother would care tht his kids are with there aunt good luck being the mother is allowing them at your house the cops wouldnt do anything.

Answer 7

brother is just jealous cuz you have a decent zone and provide better for his kids in a weekend then he every has im sure. yall go see a lawyer together (you and momma) find out for sure before he acts like an azz and freaks the kids out.

Answer 8

If the guardian gives permission, he can't do anything about it.

Answer 9

No, and your brother should be happy that you are active in his kids lives. It sounds like you are making him look bad, that's why he's so upset.
