My roommate has 2 sons (ages 2 & 3) who live with us full time, the youngest ones father was daddy to both boys until he went to prison, his family then moved to another state. Recently he was released and went immediately to the state his parents moved to without any attempt to even talk to the boys. There is a lot of mistrust between my roommate and her ex inlaws, inspite of this my roommate has agreed to allow the boys to travel with their grandmother out of state to visit with their father and grandfather. My roommate is concerned that once they have the boys with them her in-laws might try to keep them. We have a form prepared authorizing the grandparents to seek medical attention for the kids if needed but how can we word something that states the guidlines of this trip, including the specific dates of travel etc?

First of all is it recorded that she is the custodial parent? If it is not then, there wouldn't be a legal leg for her to stand on and it could take years for her to get them back if ever.
For safety sake she may consider contacting the local law enforcement and or parole and probation to inform them that the children are there to visit from this date to this date.If they are not returned then it will be regarded and pursued as kidnapping. Also, inform him and his parents that you have done so. Just to put the fear of madam god (mom) into them.

I suggest seeking a lawyer. However if your roommate has sole custody of the boys and the ex inlaws attempt to keep the children all your roommate would have to do is file kidnapping charges. The dates of when they are to be returned home should be on their travel documents. They need ROUND TRIP tickets make that SPECIFIC they are not to get one way tickets. They are to have round trip tickets with date, and time and flight number on them. If your inlaws can not provide them then don't let the children go.

on the paper that you have prepared, include all of the pertinent information concerning the trip on there. Make sure that you put temporary guardianship to handle any all all matters concerning the child's heatlh ( eg: to take them to and fro the doc. etc. ), get it notarized (w/ grandmother) take the paper file it with the Clerk of courts in the Official records Department, in your town should be like $10 or less. This makes it a legal and binding contract. From there you will have nothing to worry about.

I would stand by your decision to not allow the children to "visit" the father in jail. Let him pursue the legal end of it and pay an attorney and an escort for the visitation to happen. Do not make it easy for him. The divorce papers do not mandate visitation in jail and with the other charges, investigations and violations, I am sure the judge would stand by you. NOW, get caller ID and do not answer calls from his parents. If they want to visit the children, make them go thru the legal channels too. If he should have the children again and you suspect him of drinking and driving, call the cops right then.

Your roommate needs to talk to her lawyer. They will be able to file the proper paperwork and have much better advice than anyone on YA could give you. That's what you pay them for =)
