My ex sister-in-law refuses to return my children after I was cleared by the sheriff's office of all accusations filed against me. The case is closed yet my children are still in her care. Is this legal? I have full custody of both of my children...Do I have any rights??

She is still a minor so her parents dictate what should our. However, in extraordinary cases it is possible but not likely. A patent has a constitutional right to raise their children without interference of the G-d almighty government. You need to contact an attorney and expand upon your issue.

While there are some facts I would need to know to give you a thorough answer, my first question refers to whether they were married or bf/f2f. Second, was the 50/50 a verbal agreement between the parties orwas it reduced to writing? Have there been any court proceedings.
