Q: My ex & I had an equal verbal schedule to keep my child. She had filed for full custody and is keeping my child from me.
My daughter is 3 and I have been taking care of her all of her life. When my ex and I broke up, she only had scattered visits with our daughter for a year and a half. She has now gottten back on her feet so we constructed a 50/50 schedule to have my daughter that was only verbal and not set by court. Now she has filed for full custody and says she can keep my daughter until the court hearing, is this true?
A: If there are no court orders, law enforcement won't be helpful since they can assist with enforcing court orders. If you had a 50/50 agreement, the judge will not be happy with her conduct of keeping the child from you. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis.
