Title: Emergency reply please
Post by: jtthyou on Dec 21, 2003, 02:50:47 PM
On 11/4/03 father was awarded full sole and physical custody.  A visitation sched was to be fashioned by both parties...if no agreement, then court would fashion one.  No agreement yet between parties.  Child still resides with mother, father has kept old visitations until legal changes to be made.
Problem:
Father is at school to pick up child for 1st 1/2 of xmas vacation...Ex is there protesting. Says it is kidnapping.
We have no leagal docs except for court minutes stating he has full custody.  

1. Can court minutes be used as "legal doc"? to give to police as proof of custody?

Thanks you I will be waiting.

Until such time as you have a certified copy of the court order, signed by the judge and entered into the court record, the new orders granting father custody are not enforceable. Law enforcement will not recognize a minute order, or at least they shouldn't recognize it. Your mileage may vary.
