I've been asked to transport my Brother-in-law's kids from first marriage

[CHuntMD]

My wife's youngest brother is getting married again. He wants his two kids from his first marriage to attend (6 & 4). They live with their mother in Virginia, I live in Maryland and my brother-in-law lives in Ohio.

What forms do I need the mother (who has remarried) to give that will allow me to transport these kids across state lines and get them medical help if necessary? It is a 500 mile drive that crosses WVA and PA.

Does the mother have to go back to the court that issued her custody (OH)?

Thanks

My response:

Go to your local Stationery or Book store and pick up the following:

1. General Power of Attorney form.

2. Medical Authorization form.

Massage the forms to meet your specific needs, with names of kids, ages, SS#, beginning date, ending date, purpose of your custody - - e.g., taking them to (address) for the sole purpose of attending (name's) wedding on (date), and your promise to return them to Mom.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the quick response. I would image I would need the mothers sig notorized on these forms.

My response:

Well, yes. I thought that went without saying - - but, I was wrong.

As a matter of fact, on the bottom of each form is a section for a Notary.
