Power Of Attorney given to his parents!

[Brigit]

My son's father has had custody of our son for about three years now. I am in the process of getting my son back (going to court, etc.). New things have developed--when my son's father left him in NJ and went to NC for some sort of schooling, that upset enough that he wouldn't leave him with me. Now it turns out that he also gave his parents power of attorney without telling me...was that legal? Unless a court order says otherwise, aren't I supposed to have some say in my son's (major) medical and educational decisions according to FERPA? Help!!

Don't worry about it.. continue with your custody change and add it to the list of things to use against him. Some times placing a child with someone else is not wrong in itself and a parent with physical custody can do that... but, some courts will also see that in this case, it would have been better for the child to be with the other bio parent. I am sure you have other things on your list, just add this to it.
