Q: My brother was arrested and has to go to family court for custody of his son can I go to court on his behalf
The child's mom filed a countersuit asking for sole legal and residential custody when she found out he was arrested. The mother is not a legal US citizen she only has a working green card and has been told she will be deported to Hondurus and she has threatened us the she will take the baby to Hondurus and we will never see him again.
A: Unless you are an attorney, the answer is no. Your brother needs to retain counsel promptly. Good luck.
