Re: Sisters baby

Can they? It appears they are doing it because no one is taking legal action to stop them. While your sister has a position in this matter, nothing is going to happen until she gets a court order. Sorry, that's just the way things are.

Your sister will need to bring a motion in the California county where the child is born. If she has an attorney it would not be necessary for her to come to California. Until there is a court order, father can do anything he wishes. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
