Q: If no custody order is in place can my ex keep my son from me . can I go get him with a police officer
A:
This issue needs a local lawyer to assist you. Plus, reading this question, the first thing that comes to an attorney's mind is, "What did you OMIT from this question?"
The fact that she is "keeping" your son from you raises a red flag.
Have you legitimized the child?
Have you been arrested or convicted of crimes?
Who do you live with?
Where do you live, as in a safe place?
Are you addicted to alcohol or drugs?
Quit looking online for validation of your rights as a parent. That is a useless endeavor, in your situation. Call some child custody lawyers in the state where the child lives, and get information, including fees.
