NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --
The facts that you have provided are not clear
enough and/or complete enough to provide a
definitive answer to you inquiry. Were you
represented by an attorney? Did you and he/she agree to
this outcome? If not, an attorney may be able to
set-aside the order or, more likely, if this was the
juvenile court's exit order you may have to go
into Family Court to have the custody and visitation
modified.
