Re: child custody

The Short answer is no.

The longer answer is if your son had court ordered custody then that order has been violated. You need to take action both civil and possibly criminal, exactly what I can't say with just the facts you have given.

First question is why did the school release the child to a person who, they should have known, didn't have custody?

If you have any questions please feel to contact me, the initial consultation is free.
