Q: if a temp. custody order was granted and the case was dismissed ... shouldnt i have my child back
my daughters paternal grandma had a temp custody order granted to her in 2008 .. it was dismissed in 2009... i do not have my daughter back, she collects child support via scdss from me on my daughter, she withholds that temp order's visitation rights from me and also locked my daughter away in a mental institution and never informed me. i discovered it in my daughters email. my daughter is 11. she also allows my daughter to go off to school sporting events with her boyfriend who talks sexually to my daughter through school email that i got into. i am worried about the well being of my child and want custody back. if the order is dismissed doesnt that mean i can go get her whenever i want with that dismissal and take my child back?
A: The better approach would be to file a case in family court seeking return of your daughter and dismissal of child support action and naming grandmother and SCDSS as defendants
