Q: How can I sign custody to my mother when my aunt has temporary custody but that case had been closed
I received letter telling me case was closed. My lawyer sent me a paper reporting I could go get me kids from aunt. I go to get them the next day the law comes gets them and takes back to aunt. I want to sign my rights over to my mother. How?
A: You need to consult an attorney, so that they can get more information before they advise you accordingly. First and foremost, the attorney would need to know the circumstances in which the children were taken away. Given that you said a letter was sent to you, it seems that youth court was involved, in which case there should be an order restoring the status quo. If that is the case, then custody can be transferred to another person, so long as certain other requirements are met.
