Q: Family law question florida
My fiancé was just granted custody of his daughter, and just received the paperwork; however, the courts didn't provide any information on how to go about picking up his daughter from the mother. She didn't go to any of the court dates, and she's been refusing to let him see his daughter for almost over a month now. She has no idea she's even lost custody or that her child support has been terminated. Would the best option be to go to the local police station with the paperwork?
A:
You write that "She has no idea she's even lost custody or that her child support has been terminated." Was she served with notice of the hearings? If so, she should have some idea.
Yes, your fiancé might ask the police to send someone along when he goes to pick up the child, in case she becomes belligerent and possibly violent. However be aware that they may require a writ of assistance from the court.
