1 Answer from Attorneys
If you received residential (physical) custody of this child by order
of an appropriate court and now there's a superceding order (presumably from another court) removing the child from your home, then the preceding custody order needs to be modified to return the child to the physical custody of the mother or other appropriate third party guardian before any
legal responsibility for this custody could attach to whoever is to have this responsibility.
