What is the name of your state? California.
I have been caring for my 16 month old nephew for several months. The mother is in jail for drug use and she gave temporarly gave custody of the child to her mother before she went to jail because Child Protective Services were involved. They told her that she could not care for her child and it would be in her best interest to give custody to a family member. Her parental rights were not terminated. A month ago the father, who has been noncustodial petetioned for custody, after two judges said the mother had to be there, the third one gave him custody and he took the child 3 days later. He has never been with him for more than 6 hours and I am worried about him emotional well being. Can the judge make this decision without the mother's input or consent? if not what can she do.
