A: Since your brother shares custody, Mother should not have moved out of the state with the minor child without his agreement or court permission. Your brother should contact an attorney right away before Minnesota loses jurisdiction and the other state gets jurisdiction. I handle these matters, please feel free to contact me at 651.270.6484 to set up a consultation.
