If your child tested positive for cocaine while in county custody, you might have a case for negligence or other claims, depending on the circumstances and state law. However, successfully suing a county government often involves overcoming various legal hurdles, including immunity defenses.
My boyfriend is the father of my two kids. We moved here 2.5 months ago. He had been sober but right after moving here started drinking again. We are not married and have no kind of custody agreement. His family is going to help me leave. Am I able to take the kids back to Minnesota legally?

No attorney can provide you specific advice on this situation without knowing more. Generally, however, no custody order means no rights have yet been established for either party.

This question is too hypothetical. A court, however, certainly has the authority to issue an order.

Without a court order, neither has many rights (if any) at all. Time to file a custody proceeding.

That is more of a family law question. If your sister is awarded custody, or if the baby’s father allows your sister to take the baby, then she should have no issues.
I have filed for custody of my son and the defendant has been served in the state of MN. If she does not respond after the 21 days given to respond, what is expected to happen then?

A default judgment could occur in which you are awarded all that you have asked for in the complaint. However, the judge is still going to review that judgment to make sure the requests are compliant with the law.

A father's rights are not there from the get-go. A child custody proceeding sounds necessary.

I feel as if information may be missing with this story. The facts are too vague, but a person DOES have the right to represent themselves.
Also can they require the non-custodial parent to travel more than half the distance for their parenting time? Can the custodial parent deny weekday visits saying they can only do visits at a location closer to the custodial parent. Even if this language is not in the court order? The move was also...

The court order contains all of the requirements. Everything else is just the other parent trying to pull a fast one. An order cannot require that a person never moves - but a person moving could, potentially, have other implications. Unfortunately, you will not get specific advice on this... View More
If he is planning a trip out of state, is he supposed to make me aware of when they are leaving, for how long and where they are going? As well as obtain my permission to cross state lines with them?

The order should address these issues. A lawyer here would not know the answer to that question without reviewing the order.

You would need to write up and file with the Court a written Stipulation reflecting what provisions of the Judgment you've agreed to modify. Both parties would need to sign and notarize the Stipulation. You then need to prepare and file a proposed Order and a proposed Amended Judgment.
