Lawyers for a Virginia woman who has disappeared with her 8-year-old daughter went back to a Vermont courtroom in late June to argue that she never should have been stripped of custody.
Lawyers for Lisa Miller are challenging a Family Court judge’s decision to award custody to former partner Janet Jenkins, of Fair Haven.
Miller, of Forest, Va., and daughter Isabella Miller-Jenkins failed to appear for a court-ordered Jan. 1 custody swap in which Jenkins was to get the girl. The girl is now listed as missing, and Jenkins’ attorney has said the two are believed to have moved to El Salvador.
The Vermont Supreme Court was to hear arguments from Miller’s attorneys who say Judge William Cohen erred last November in awarding custody to Jenkins, who is not the biological mother.
