Grand Island, NE asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Nebraska

Q: My ex boyfriend grabbed my daughter and took off with her. I haven’t heard from them since. Is there anything I can do?

We got into a heated argument. And he got upset and he grabbed and took off with her. I tried to get her but he elbowed me and pushed me down. In the argument there was no hitting involved just yelling. I’m afraid he may have taken her out of state.

A: If you were hurt when he elbowed you and pushed you you should call the police and get him arrested for assault and then you will have law enforcement help getting your child back. Otherwise without a criminal matter the police will not be involved and if he is the father of the child it is not kidnapping. If an existing custody order is in place then he may have violated it. Get the cops involved for the assault is the fastest way to get your child back. Cops won't enforce custody orders.
