Q: My daughter's stepmother, took her to Urgent Care without my permission, stated she was her biological mother can I sue?

She was fine when I dropped her off. Also she was not complaining of any medical issues to her dad or myself. Her dad was a work when the wife took her. The father is not legitimized. What legal action can I take?

A: The real question is how what your child harmed by this? If the stepmother felt she had a medical issue and the urgent care either treated it or decided there was no issue, there doesn't seem to be any harm done to your child.

A: I agree with my colleague. There would have to be a reason why the step mother took her to urgent care. If there was something wrong with her then she was looking out for her best interest and trying to get her help. I don’t see how this has harmed the child or would be something to take legal action against. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
