Q: Can I take someone to court if they lie to me about going to court for a child I use to take of.
I use to watch a child because the mother never took care of her child, I called services on her so many time because the mother would never take care of her child but after time I could no longer see the child the mother took her and was hiding and then now one person is going to court to get custody and telling me she getting the child back to me saying she had a lawyer and that I need to be ready for the child to come back so I spent money on a two bedroom apartment, starting to buy clothes and other things and turns out she lied to me about everything and that’s not all of the story but I need to speak on the phone with someone to explain the whole story better but just need to know What can I do.
A: I'm not sure there's anything you can do but I do suggest that you consult in person with an experienced family law attorney to discuss this matter in detail. It's a bit unclear from what you've written but I'm sure in a face to face meeting it will all come out.
