Re: help someone is tring to take my kids away who isnt even related

Being a relative is irrelevant.

If she has had possession and control of the child for over 6 months, she has "standing" to go to Court and ask the Judge for custody. You may or may not get visitation rights. You would be ordered to pay child support for the child.

Since you voluntarily gave the child to her - and you admit in your email that you did let her have possession of the child - you desperately need to hire an attorney.

It sounds like you've lied on some legal papers (the ones where you admit her husband is the father of the child).

Yes she can get custody of the chid.

And, she might even be planning to terminate your parental rights and adopt the child.

You really need to hire an attorney.

Good luck!
