Cobb County in what state?
Texas is the only state in the union mandating the judge must meet with a child age 12 and older in order for the child to express his or her wishes as far as custody is concerned if the child or their legal representative requests it.
However, in every state in the union, the child's wishes are a factor when deciding custody and the older the child, the more weight given to their request.
Without knowing the child's age and the state where you reside, it's impossible to give an accurate answer, however the parent, an attorney or guardian ad litem is always free to request a judge meet with the child. But as stated above, the judge is not mandated to do so unless the case is heard in Texas and the child involved is 12 or older.

Can a sister give a sister temporary custody of child without fathers consent?
That depends on the legal custody agreement in place. If no custody agreement has been hammered out in court, you should contact the family court in your county of residence, or an attorney, for information on filing papers to assign temporary guardianship of your child to your sister. You may both have to appear in court so the judge can determine whether or not such an arrangement is in the best interests of the child. In other words, cover your bases. Fathers do have rights and if he finds out that you are violating his rights, you may be facing a custody battle.
