Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If the father signed power of attorney for child to his step mom would he only need to sign a revocation of power of attorney to end it? We had it notarized and signed by two witnesses and hand delivered it with two cops present. Now she is saying if we dont return child she will get us for kidnapping. We did everything the way its suppose to right? He still has custody and I the mother still had rights to visitation and we now are together and taking care of her.

Without reviewing the relevant POA and any other documents, one cannot generalize. Regardless, the threat of a kidnapping charge appears quite extreme and unsupported.
