Re: child cousdy

If you have legal custody, court papers and all, then all you need to do is to contact the authorities in Virginia and provide the papers for them to pick the child up. If you do not have legal papers, you have more of a fight on your hands to get legal custody and you would need to file a petition. Please contact me if I may be of assistance to you.
