Sounds like they must have reassigned the judge in your case, and it (presuming service was proper) sounds like you are on the clock to file your Response. Without knowing what type of Petition or other request they filed, I can't advise you further.

First, this is a very difficult situation to be in as a mother, and I want to commend you for asking a legal forum before taking action. Second, "abandonment" in Ohio is governed by Ohio Revised Code 3127, which says that a parent who fails to maintain contact with the child for 90 days... View More

You need to hire an IL attorney who regularly practices divorce law in the Court hearing your case there. IL has jurisdiction regarding your child. You need to file an appropriate motion in that court advising it of the CA order which is in conflict with the IL order. This is not something to... View More

You would be better off attempting to obtain medical records rather than attempting to make a medical determination yourself. The records are protected by HIPPA, however as a parent you are entitled to the medical records of your child which you can obtain from the medical facility itself.

Custody arrangements are generally determined by the best interests of the child. However, illegal re-entry can be a criminal offense that might impact a court's decision on custody. The original custody agreement would not automatically reinstate without a court order.

The original custody agreement would not automatically reinstate if someone is deported and then returns illegally. The court may reassess the custody agreement, especially considering the criminal nature of illegal re-entry.
