Legal Question in Family Law in California
I feel like my daughter has been ripped away from me! help!
last year in june
I sent my daughter to california for
her birthday to visit her sisters. While
there I received a phone call from My
oldest daughter asking for permission
to keep my youngest daughter there.
I told her I would think about it, they
then went to ssi changed my daughters benefits to there account
behind my back, they refuse to send
her back I signed no guardianship papers, my youngest daughter now
refuses to come back. How is this
legal? what are my options? I never
said yes thanx for your time

The best time to do something about this was in June of 2008. You may still be able to force this matter in WA courts, but the other side can argue that jurisdiction is in CA (because the child has been in CA for more than 6 months).
