Q. Does my mother have any grounds for not returning my child after I revoke the power of attorney given to her previously?

June 21, 2021

A: The POA is likely invalid. Only a judge can assign or reassign custody.

Q. When our kids go to their dad he doesn't make them shower or brush their teeth. What can I do to fix this?

December 30, 2020

A: I doubt the court will intervene to modify custody or find the father in contempt. The children’s welfare is not at stake for lack of bathing and brushing their teeth, although I understand the situation is concerning.

Q. question

October 1, 2020

A: No, but you could be asked that on cross examination if it’s at all relevant and you would have to answer truthfully.
