A: If you can articulate verifiable reasons to a judge that 1) she actually is taking your child someplace, and 2) it is unsafe for the child, then possibly. You will need more facts than just a feeling or belief that a place is unsafe. For example, if you think she's taking the child to a drug house, has there been a police raid or have people recently been arrested out of there for drugs? Again, it has to be more than just you thinking something is going on.
