Over a year ago my father and I agreed on him taking verbal temporary guardianship of my son until I was able to get back on my feet and stability, a few months back my dad had given my son to another family member and recently I had went to go get him and was refused to have my son back by the people my dad had left him with, I'm trying to figure out if I'm legally able to just go grab my son from them and bring him home. I still have custody and no other court orders saying otherwise
Hello **** ****,
Could you please provide me with your location? Legal procedures on child custody can vary from place to place.
Findlay Ohio is where my son is currently at with a family member but I have and my son had lived and born in Michigan which is where I'd be bringing him back home too

Hello **** ****,
Considering your situation and the fact that you still have parental rights, you shouldn't be overly concerned. However, if you face any resistance, it would be advisable to consult with a family law attorney in Michigan to ensure compliance with both states' laws.
