well i went to my first parenting class on the 17th of this month. my ex boyfriend's parents are planning on taking my daughter, renee, to live with my ex's moms' other relatives and there is no judgement and there hasent been one. his mom cant really do that without the other relatives going to court. my next class is in the morning at 9:30 and my ex's parents will be there. my question is, can his mom take my daughter to live with other relatives without and judgement made? my daughter is 3 years old and she knows who her mother is. any ideas would really help or answers. thanks!!!

If you do not already have a lawyer get one! If there have been papers filed you have a certain amount of days to respond. Make sure that even if you DO NOT have an attorney that you file an answer, even if it just states that you wish to continue having custody. It is difficult for parents to take a child away from the mother, unless you are deemed unfit!
Good luck! ;)
Feel free to email me if you have any other questions, I will need to know what state you are in to be most helpful!

I'd really like to help you...I unfortunately have some experience in custody with grandparents and visitation rights. But I'm a little unclear on the details. If you'd like to email me and I'll try to give you some more advice. Do you have custody of your daughter at all right now? If they have sole custody then they could sign over temporary custody to a family member....however, if you have any visitation or custody at all, then they cannot take that away from you....the other family members will have to honor the visititation agreement and depending on how the gurardianship is labled in the courts, they may not be able to do this without your permission. There should be someone in your parenting class who can give you legal advise on custody since they work so closely with the courts. I ask one of the instructors and the laws vary in each state as well, so that's the place I'd start. Just stay focused and don 't let what they may do temporarily make your stray from main goal which is getting your daughter back! My email is listed under my profile if you have any other questions! Hang in there!

Sounds like you'll be able to haven't any quandary preserving custody. The usual matters for the courts to do is award the mum bodily custody, almost always each father and mother proportion authorized custody, and the daddy will get a visitation time table. Don't fear, the whole thing shall be excellent. Continue to not reply his calls, and permit the pass judgement on manage it.

I don't entirely understand your question.
It is really going to depend on what state you live in. But generally, the parents of the child have custody unless there's been some sort of court hearing.
So your ex could take her, but not his parents.
I think you need to immediately talk to an attorney in your state, because the laws are going to be different depending on where you live.
Most state bar associations have referral services so that you can talk to an attorney for a small (in my state it's $35.00) donation to the Bar association, for about a half an hour. Of course, the attorney hopes you'll hire him or her, but you have no obligation to do so. But you need to consult with an attorney to determine what your rights are.

legally no, temporary maybe. Until a judgement is made and finalized that baby belongs legally with the mother and no one else especially without your consent. if you wanted to scream loud enough the courts will have to listen but they could also to decide to place the baby with foster care until the court date to prevent further problems so please be careful. Once the Judge rules the baby will have to be returned to you regardless or face trouble from the judge. Good luck
