questions & answers

Question: I have a question I need help with? If I was to go and get my kids but the mother and I have no custody agreement or order in place can I get in trouble. I feel as if my kids are being neglected and while they are going to my mother's house over the weekend I want to get them but I don't know if I can get into any trouble with the police being that there is no custody agreement.

Answer: For specific legal advice in your situation please consult a lawyer. Generally, unless there is an order of protection that prevents a parent from having time with their child, or a legal reason such as a person having been convicted of a crime that does not allow them to be in the prescience of children it may be allowed.
