The short answer is...maybe.

If there is no court orders, then yes.

If a judge has signed legal documents, then the answer is no. She must follow the orders signed by a judge. Otherwise, she could be in contempt of court.

I would suggest strongly that she consult with an attorney about her legal rights and duties.

I highly recommend PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Tell her that FRAN sent you - I rent space in her office. My mom has been ill so I'm not accepting new litigated cases right now.

Good luck
