Re: temorary power of attorney

A power of attorney can be revoked at any time.

Only a Judge can sign an order that is legally binding on everyone - police, parents, minor child, etc.

If you have had custody and control of the child for over 6 months, then you might have "standing" to go to court and ask for legal custody.

You definately need to talk to an attorney on Monday.

There are many excellent attorneys on this website.

I could definately call one in your area and tell them that you found them on lawguru.com.

Happy Holidays!
