ok, just so I am clear. You are the custodial parent at this time?
Have you been granting visitation with these other family members?
If you are already the custodial parent, (she lives with you) then you already have custody. So you don't need to do anything there.
However, if are you trying to deny visitation to your inlaws, that is a whole other ball of wax. First you need to establish your reasons why they should be denied visitation. Without VALID reasns the judge will dismiss your claim and you will be left in a bad position for them to come after you.
then you NEED to get an attorney. The judge will NOT treat your claims as fairly as they would if you go in there solo. The defense attorney will tear you a new one, and before it is over you will wish you had never started.
Try Legal Aid first. If they can't see you they can point you in the right direction. Also, try a pro bono lawyer, or one who you don't ay unless you win. They usually have payment plans for this type of thing.
But if you are the custodial parent, the father can't just kidnap her, and the grandparents have very little rights.

long long previous are the days the place a female automomatically have been given finished custody. Courts further and extra noadays are granting joint custody. They sense that's interior the final interest if the newborn to have equivalent time with the mothers and dads. it is not like I disagree, even nevertheless it sounds such as you have some valid themes to lift. i could recommend which you document the paper artwork for how you decide on issues to flow. once you 2 can not come to an settlement a dad or mum adlitem will maximum probable be assigned to the case and that guy or woman will come to a determination what could be ultimate for the newborn. This technique can take an prolonged time. you will might want again to a determination now if he's rather going to be a harm to your infant or in case you're only offended in direction of him simply by fact an prolonged courtroom conflict is painful for anybody. and don't have confidence a criminal expert in case you come to a determination to call one. they are going to inform you from the 2d which you stroll by their door which you have a super case and that they are able to win for you. they are asserting that to anybody and all they choose is your funds. be satisfied to digital mail me in case you have extra questions as I definitely have long previous by all of this myself.
