Wife took baby, missed vaccines—what legal action possible?

My wife left home in anger with our 4-month-old baby, and her father went with her. As a result of her actions, the baby missed two vaccination injections. What legal steps can I take in this situation to ensure the safety and health of the child?

You can file a petition in Family Court for child custody or visitation rights under the Guardians and Wards Act. Missing vaccinations puts the baby’s health at risk, which can support your claim. You may also approach Child Welfare Committee or police if there's threat to the child's well-being. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
