Brandon, FL asked in Child Custody for Florida

Q: I live in Florida and I filed for divorce in 9/2017 the divorce was granted. Ex husband didn't show for anything.

I had him serve by publication. My question is I was granted sole timesharing and father has no visitation. The judge stated if father wants visitation will have to motion the court. He ask to see our daughter September 21st and that's was the last time I seen her. I know she's still in Hillsborough County fl. Where I live but the family is helping him to hide her. What can I do to locate my daughter because he no longer has custody? I don't know if there is a motion I can file? I'm pretty much lost with this situation. **I adopted her 1/11/17**** Thank you for any advice

A: Ask the police to search for and arrest him. Hiding a child from the other parent is a crime.
