Q: What step i need to take to get my daughter back? Father refuse to communicate with me and i would liked joint custody?
In 2015 I let the child move with her father until i got myself back on my feet, i send father a notarize letter saying to keep her 2017, in 2016 he send me a document called Legitimation form; i volunteer sign it Because he needed to register the child in school and doctors. Is been 3 years i havent seen her, so far i dont know if theirs a court order that saids he has full custody, i leave in a different state father lives in georgia. n i been asking father to let the child visit me n he ignores me or blocked me. he recently send me a message saying that it was time for me to take her back n something happen now i have no communication again with father. i know child has everything but father barely home n she concetely being watch my none family member; when his out of town working. Child recently find a way to contact me begging me to take her back home, father refuse for us to even communicate through phone.I have alot of proof about everything n also i have myself together.
A: You need to see an attorney about your options. If there is a court order, that would change things drastically.
A: Contact an attorney in the county where he lives to determine your options. If he doesn't have an order, you just need to go pick her up. If he does, it may be more complicated than that.
