The child step-mother has taken her out of state (Maryland)with my brother's other children and a judge in North Carolina granted her an order of protection against my brother with information that is false. The judge gave her custody of our niece (who is not hers) but did not know that we were avaliable to take her. We live in Virginia. Who do we call? The police in Maryland were going to file kidnapping charges but then she got the order of protection and now they say theres nothing they can do. So what can we do? My brother says he and the birth mother would sign over custody....we need this done very quickly...is there anyway? And please don't leave answers that tell me I should be thanking this women for taking her in or that we have no chance because this situation is not right at all!

I would call Maryland Family Court and ask them...there is no reason the child be taken out of state away from family to be put with a step-mother. Usually courts will side with the child being placed with family members since that is what the child is used to and try to make it as easy as possible for the child...was he with this woman for a long time? Depending on what she has told the courts you will have to be prepared to tell the judge that the child won't have contact with the parents until the court agrees it is safe...and so on...play your cards right and safe though...she seems to have the system down to a T and you don't want to do anything that puts her in the lead not for your Niece's sake that is...she needs to be with you in a stable environment and not moving to other states and such...she needs to be with her "family".

You will need North Carolina lawyer to file your request with the court. The court will set a hearing with the judge. This process will take a lot of time so don't think it will happen quickly. You cannot do anything without first hiring a lawyer. The judge will not talk to you without one.

Sorry, yet whilst bio-mom has sole custody and pa has purely visitations (until eventually it exceedingly says in the custody order she has to do driving time) then it relatively is his accountability to convey the youngster from side to side. If the settlement you're speaking approximately isn't a court order asserting she should be the only to facilitate the choosing up and dropping off then you certainly are out of success, and actual can no longer get her for abandonment. surely you could no longer get her for Jack that's going to might desire to be your husband. yet as I constantly say Ask a criminal expert no longer Y!A.
