The woman who have birth to my sister and I was given custody of us both by a godless court system. My father saved our souls and enabled us to be raised in our wonderful church by fleeing with us to Venezuela. But this has now found us and is demanding our return. She is a loose and godless woman and shall lead us astray. How can we make the court system which betrayed us before that we cannot possibly go back to that sinful life and leave our beloved and sainted father?

No, I mean the woman who birthed us. My father had three wives, who were all dutiful and honored Christian women, and those women are our mothers. We are especially close with Mama Carmen.

well, while I don't think it was a very "Godly" thing for him to do by kidnapping you, and denying your mother the opportunity to see the children she obviously loves, and gave birth to, it is your choice. If you are old enough to understand the situation, a court will listen to you, and take your desires into account. Give your mother the benefit of the doubt. Even the most holy, and righteous people can say some awful things when hurt, and divorce is ALWAYS hurtful. It's possible your father was angry, and hurt when he said those things about your mother, and gradually started to believe them. Or maybe he's exactly right, and she's an awful woman- the point is, don't judge. Give her some benefit of the doubt, and get to know her yourself-even if you request that you only see her very occasionally at first. You can also request mediated visits. Even if she does try to "Lead you astray" you're obviously old enough to have your own beliefs, and know what is right. Don't let go of that because an adult tells you to, or doesn't nurture those beliefs... I grew up in a household where my beliefs differed from that of my parents- so it's possible, but not easy.
Good Luck

The courts do not take religious affiliation into consideration in these matters. Your father was wrong for fleeing with you out of the country. No matter the religion of you, or your mother, your mother has parental rights, and the courts must honor that. A person's rights can only be taken from the through due process of the law. Not being a person of religion is not enough due process to do so.
That is just the way it works.
*Added*
Concerning these "other mothers", they, in the eyes of the court, are not your mothers, and technically have no rights to you. Parental rights, unless terminated, only exist between the biological father and mother. Your father broke the law when he to this woman's children(you and your sister) from her. That is not allowed in this country. And, doing so usually will result in criminal matters as well.

I wonder what your age is. You only know circumstances as you have been told. I am sure you are a child or this would not be an issue. I'm sure you know nothing of the truth concerning your birth mother. If your father had three other wives, then you are not in a stable family, you are only being subjected to propaganda (hope you know the meaning of that word). Don't ask a forum like this. I will pray for you, your family, mixed up as it is, and certainly for your birth mother.

Pray. And also, if they will let you testify, tell the court how you feel and they should take that into consideration.
