Get a lawyer. I do not know if any of the US laws are relevent in PR but this does not sound right.
And whomever has the child should come forward and tell the courts what they know. How they got custody and if they even knew the father was involved.
Good luck, don't delay.
In the US you may have a good case against her.

Go back to your attorney and tell him the situation. Since he is the bio dad, I don't know if these friends have any right to legally have custody of the daughter that are superior to his own rights. I don't know what the laws are like where you are at but I would talk to the attorney about issues of parental abandonment by the mother and you and your husband getting full legal and physical custody of the girl.

My heart just breaks for this little girl. Please do what you can to get custody of her and bring some stability back into her life.

i would go back to the courts with a lawyer. this sounds like abandonment to me on her part. she knew the father wanted to keep her while she got settled for a "job" so instead of leaving the little girl with friends of the family and what not just to go hook up with a guy. sorry i don't think so. and if they are friends of the family then they should of known the dad was involved and went to him first off. any ways get a lawyer and take all of them to court. the little girl needs to be with her dad.

Can you get an emergency or expedited court date? See a lawyer. If your husband is not on the birth certificate, ask to have a paternity test as soon as possible so you can take this little girl home. When you go to court ask to have custody transferred to dad, since the mom has abandoned her and disregarded the fact that she has a father yet she left them with friends!

obviously you need a lawyer but if he's the bio dad and on the birth cert then it should be quite easy to have a temporary order to get her back immediately. i don't understand how the mom can give friends custody of a child without going the court system, something doesn't add up here

Well done to you for wanting this little girl.
I don't believe she has the authority to "give" custody to anyone.
You need an attorney. Maybe start with that Joe Pippin whoanswers questions for free Sat and Sun mornings- he is on 970, and 860 radio stations. At 9am one day and 6 am the other, cannot remenber which station which day, but you can check that out.
best, k
