Hi Jeremy! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My children were temporary given to my sister for guardianship. Since then she has moved states and I’m unable to reach my children or even speak to them
Hi Jeremy! I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. To better assist you, could you let me know if there was a court order involved in granting your sister temporary guardianship?
No court order but she went to court and was granted legal custody in Texas and she in Colorado and I’m in arizona
Jeremy, it sounds like a complicated situation. Since your sister was granted legal custody in Texas, you may need to file a petition in the Texas court to modify or terminate the custody order. You might also want to contact a family law attorney in Texas for detailed guidance.
