Here is the scenario.... My brother's GF took his daughter and moved out of state (Nevada), the child is 7 months old and was born in Colorado. She moved into a house with her dad, brother and grandfather. The house is a trailer and is infested with Cockroaches, as well the father and brother are into drugs. The mother of the child is not working and has been denied welfare due to "using the system". My brother lives in a nice apt. and has a decent paying full time job in Colorado.
If it helps, the father, 2 uncles, aunt, grandma, step-grandpa all live in Colorado.
Any help is greatly appreciated on how my brother can go about getting his daughter back.
Thanks you

Perhaps he should provide more child support so the two of them can afford to move out and live on their own.

Get a lawyer. First and foremost. If what you are saying is true, it will not be hard to prove her an unfit mother. Also, if your brother isn't paying child support. HAVE HIM START IMMEDIATELY!!!! Or else the judge will say that he wasn't interested in the welfare of his child. My husband just got his 7 year old daughter from her mother the same way.Good Luck!

Your brother will need to have an attorney to sue for custody
The sooner he does it the better as the longer the mother and child are out of state the lower the chances that it can be done in his state, and having to file in the state were he is not a resident is harder.

you have to get a lawyer she should not be permitted to move without the other parents permission.they will take into account wether your brother has been paying childsupport if he is this will go in his favour.he may have to apply for parental rights if they were not married
