Emergency Custody order

No.. there isn't anything that says that there has to be a hearing in 72 hours. The judge has already ordered once and set another hearing.

If you can't get to your sisters house how did you expect to see your grandchild?

I wanted to bring her here to my house for the weekend where her clothes, bed, bottles, toys and her grandmother is.

I'm sorry but you don't make any sense to me. You can drive there to bring your grandchild back to your house but you can't take the time to go spend a few hours or half a day or whatever with her at your sisters house. I realize you're looking for more time... however, take what you can get.

This also makes no sense to me. You're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I never said that I wasn't going to drive to my sisters house and spend time with her. It just makes me mad that I am the one that everyone in my family is mad at. Everyone told me that I had to call CPS to make sure that my granddaughter was safe. I know that I did the right thing even though now my daughter hates me and my whole family is mad at me. I know that in time everyone will calm down and that my daughter will mature and see that what I did was for the best interest of my granddaughter, but that doesn't make it easy for me now.

While that's all understandable, none of it is a legal issue. Your sister/BIL have been granted custody of this child, and there is apparently no visitation ordered for you. They are well within their legal rights to not allow you to take the child out of their home. In many ways, I can't blame them - they have had the kid for a few days, trying to adjust her to a new environment, and there you come wanting to take her away for a few days. The child needs time to get acclimated. SHE would be better served to have you go see her in her current home rather than being bounced back and forth. Suck it up, go see her, and then go home.

I wouldn't bet on it. Don't set yourself up for disappointment in this. If it happens, it happens. If not, you could end up very bitter. Go see the child, find out when the next hearing is and if you feel being with you is best for the child, then file your own petition with the courts. I suggest finding an attorney.

I have a court date. The lawyer called and said it is set for 4/13. I have to go to court and testify against my daughter. Now I have received phone calls yesterday from the lady who gave me the information that I told the lawyer, that some of the stuff wasn't true. She was trying to get custody for the babies father. (she is his aunt). Will I be supeoned and will my daughter? No one has even contacted her about the court date yet.
