Custody of daughter

I feel like I'm missing something, no papers were filed? How is she proving to you that she has custody?

I seen the paper that the judge himself had signed.

Back then nothing was recorded in the judges chambers so there is no record of anything taking place. The only thing I have is the paper stating that she has custody.

Sounds more like your mother is lying to you and faking papers.

Thats what i was wondereing too jennipepsi...if I understand correctly, the op says her mom walked into a court room, said "my daughters been gone for 3 days, I want permanent custody of my granddaughter", and the judge said "okay", and that was that. Sounds absolutely ridiculous. I would contact the courthouse that the grandmother supposedly went to and see if anything was ever filed. If there was, I would request copies, if not (and I'm betting my bottom dollar there isn't), then I would disregard anything the grandmother says as the rantings of a crazy person. ( I know thats kinda mean, but come on...)

But you weren't there? Did you ever check to see if there is a judge by that name? if so, did you verify that he signed the order? For the order to have the force of law, it has to be recorded by the court. Did you check that it was?

I agree, sounds like your mother scammed you.

I went to the courthouse and spoke to the people that keep all the records. She looked it up and there is nothing recorded because it did not take place in the courtroom. It was in the judges chambers. There was no one there but my mother, the judge, and the clerk of court-which is my mothers cousin. The judge did sign the paper and I know the judge because he is the one that precedded over my child support with my sons father.

Whether the judge signed the order in chambers or in open court doesn't matter. It should have been entered in the court record.

It's possible that what you describe happened, and the clerk neglected to file the order. Take your copy of the order to the clerk and demand to know why he or she (the clerk, that is) evidently screwed up.
