More details to this question:
I never spoke with my atty about giving my dtrs father any type of custody. But on 4/29/2014 at the final hearing the judge asked if both parties had come to an agreement and both attys said yes. I was lost because I never got a chance to even speak with my atty before the hearing so how could they have an agreement. Nor did the GAL complete his assignment that was ordered. I did not sign ANY papers to give him custody or anything and the judge did not order for custody to be given to him because there was NOT A REASON for me to loose custody of my child. I have 2 other children at home with me UNSUPERVISED. If I was a bad mother the judge would have ordered for my other children to be removed also. I NEVER AGREED TO ANYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO GIVING HIM SOLE CUSTODY OF MY BABY GIRL! I NEED HELP REGAINING CUSTODY OF MY CHILD BACK PLEASE!!!!

Custody modification requires a clear assessment of the circumstances existing at time of entry of the original order. Consider obtaining a copy of the court file, your previous case file, and the existing court order before consulting with an attorney for filing a modification action. These items will be necessary for a clear review to determine ability to file a viable custody modification action.
