Q: Can father refuse to give kids back after 3 day visiting in Alabama

My daughter has been the full time parent in this equation. He’s never paid child support. He’s never had the kids at all until 2 months ago when he started keeping them m-w so daughter can work doubles. Now they are there and he’s refusing to give them back. There’s no custody nor paternity. Please help. She’s a single parent and no money for attorney. He’s 20 and has 4 kids. 2 of which he supports full time. Please help me. I’m in Florida and she’s in Alabama and don’t know what to do

A: You have to go to court. You have to hire an attorney, or get free help from legal aid in the County in which this is happening. You will have to file an action in the COunty where the children have been living.
