Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My mother has a Power of Attorney for my 10 year old son. And it has been in effect since he was 6 months old. The stipulation to revoke it was 30 written notice.

Allegations from my sister that my mother was being abusive toward my son were made. I provided her with a temporary POA to have until it could be shown to her that I was fit.

The only thing that was done to negate my mother's Power of attorney was I stated that I revoke any and all previous Powers of attorney. Does this negate my mother's POA?

If by giving a "POA", you mean that you have filled out paperwork to let your mother have custody, then I don't understand the problem. Your child will be where you want your child to be until or unless a court determines otherwise. A POA can be granted or revoked at any time, but is not absolutely necessary for your son to still live with your mother. Please repost with more facts to state exactly what you are asking about, meaning what is the actual problem you are facing.
