Q: We have had 3 yr old grand daughter for 18 mos. Mom has severe mental illnesses, drug addict, dates inmates and felons
Every once in awhile she contacts me. "How's my kid"? She occassionally threatens to come get her. I need to file emergency custody but she refuses to tell me where she lives. I told her I would have her served at work. She said dhe doesn't work there anymore (got fired) and said good luck fu%$ing finding me. I have all in text. I live in Oh...what now? No one, even her family, knows where she is.
A: In this type of case we use her last address or serve her by publication. I think it would be best to seek the emergency temporary custody and seek either a dependency case or an unfitness custody case. Please feel free to call at 440-213-3184 should you have further questions.
A: You can use her last known, or a process called service by publication where they take out classified adds for a few days when a person is impossible to find.
