Q: I have filled a petition for custody of my granddaughter I have had for 11/2yr. My daughter snatched her+ x state lines?
I have had my granddaughter for a year and a half my daughter took her and she now has her hiding in Oklahoma with non blood relation family who knowingly took her in help!
A: Depending on the facts of your case, you might be able to file an Application for Writ if Attachment to ask the Court to sign an Order directing a police officer to go with you to retrieve your granddaughter.
A: Depending on the specific facts of your case, and you should speak with a lawyer, it sounds like you have standing to bring a suit affecting the parent child relationship. A court can make orders regarding the child, and potentially give you the exclusive right to designate the child's residence, but it is important not to let so much time go by that Texas is not the child's home state. As stated above, you need to speak with a qualified family lawyer.
