Pawcatuck, CT asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Rhode Island

Q: Ex has our daughter. Refusing to give he to me

I've been tryin to contact dcyf investigator for days and having heard from themI have to be spoken to any dcyf worker. How do I know if he has custody. I tried gettin daughter back after he took her for the night refused then gave my parents info on him gettin full custody from dcyf. Again no one has spoken to me.

Let me explain I was displaced from my home belongings identification everything I own after he kicked me out . Filed false domestic on me . Weeks laterI had few drinks and called him to pick daughter up because I was under influence...at.a residence I was staying at..since then won't let me or family see her keeps sayin Dcyf gave him custody can they do that without contacting me.. I do in know there is not an open case just investigation. does this sound right or am I dealing with someone who is lying so I can't get her.

A: It's nary impossible to determine whom may be lying about what on the scant information provided. If you are working with an attorney in your DCYF case, contact them. If you can afford to hire your own attorney, that is a great idea. There should also be a social worker assigned to the case that you may be able to speak with.
