Re: Lost Child
This does not sound legal. I would want to see how she accomplished this, because she would have had to do more than mere perjury to do it in NY. Forging documents would also be required.
If you know the location of both her and your child, then you have a strong case to get the name change set aside and possibly an order to have her move back to a location where you could enjoty visitation.
Yoiu are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
