Did we violate anything?

Dear Soc,

Life IS stranger than fiction...

We are in AL and BM is in FL with kids, she has custody and DH as visitation( usually denied of course). After several appeals and delays BM finally showed up Friday for her 15 day contempt of court jail sentance in AL.  In July DH  filed for custody of OSS because he is adament about not living with his mother anymore - nothing from the Judge or BM's attorney yet.  When the boys  returned home after summer, thier entire family in Florida (except YSS) went beserk vacillating between verbal abuse and the silent treatment to bring him back into line.

Friday/Saturday Hurricane Charlie decides to blow across FL wrecking havoc.  Grandparents show up to take care of kids on Sunday and check for damage (no water or power).  They live about 2 hours away.  Why they weren't already there with Mom gone, we may never know.  Anyway, OSS (15) is "disowned" because he will not go on TV to speak bad about DH in attempts to get BM out of jail.  The neighbor (adult male) threatens to slap Paul and Grandparents kick him out.  OSS calls DH and begs for help.  Grandma tells DH she wants the boy gone and agrees to buy an airline ticket ONLY IF DH pays her back.  I don't think they would have really made him homeless, but they would have continued to make his life hell.

OSS arrived last night safe and sound.  DH expressed mailed money today for the ticket.

1.  By helping OSS leave without the BM's consent, did we do anything wrong that could get us in trouble with the Judge?

Thanks ever so much,

You are acting to care for the child in an urgent circumstance beyond your control. You are not willfully violating the court's custody orders, rather you are being forced by the other party's actions/circumstances.
