What legal rights does a mother have to see her child when the child's grandmother was granted guardianship in New Jersey but both of them now live in New York?

Answer 1

All states recognize custodial and child support orders issued from other states. A New York state court could not amend or overrule a guardianship and the terms of such that was issued by a Pennsylvania court. The biological mother has the option of filing a petition with the circuit or superior court of the city or county in which the guardian and child reside to attempt to regain custody of said minor child. Please be advised, judges in other jurisdictions rarely grant guardianship or custodial rights to be overturned or amended. The exception would be if the original court decision is proven to have been procured by unlawful misrepresentation or interpretation on the part of any involved parties.
