What can he do to get custody and exercise his father's rights?
Asked on Mar 28th, 2013 on Child Custody - Illinois
More details to this question:
When my brother's divorce was final, there was no custody agreement with my niece. Can I get into trouble if I take my niece to visit her dad in Florida for a week, with his permission? My niece lives with my mom but there are no court orders. My brother's ex-wife is trying to keep my niece away from him although we take care of her.

I don't see how your brother's divorce judgment could not have addressed the subject of custody, if their daughter was a minor at the time the judgment was entered. A skilled family law attorney would need to discuss this matter with your brother in greater detail, & ask him many questions before he/she could give him proper legal advice re this matter. He should schedule a consultation ASAP.
