Q: My son father verbally told me he will keep my son from me (never married) can he do so??
We recently had a DV case in the police report it says that he threatened to keep the Baby. I hear some police office will not return the Baby with the mother if they feel the child
Is ok? What can I do if that happens??
Never been to court.
A: You can file a motion to establish paternity, custody, time sharing and child support. In that petition, you will need to request that the child resides primarily with you the majority of the time. Some police officers will not return a child without a court order. Once you get an order from the judge, it will determine where the child is to be, with what parent, and at what time.
