Burbank, CA asked in Civil Rights, Criminal Law, Domestic Violence and Federal Crimes for California

Q: Police used an arrest warrant to coerced me into releasing my child to an abuser. How can I get her back?

A custody order was obtained ex parte and through submissions of false evidence to take my child. My ex and his attorney have conspired and have continued to use the system as a weapon. They were successful in filing a criminal complaint against me based on an illegal order, but more importantly, I haven't seen my 3 yr old daughter in 6 months. There is no judgement on paternity, she's being concealed from me and its parental kidnapping that law enforcement aided in. I've given evidence of an obstruction of justice among other crimes of which initiated the criminal complaint. How does one loose their child to police? They've now put her in danger and anything I do to remedy this elevates the risks. What can I do? (other than "find an attorney", I've tried)
