Q: my childs father had primary custody but he has left my daughter to live woth him mom.can I just go get her.
About 3 years ago I moved to GA and me and my childs father did a signed agreement that my daughter would go between fl n GA and then he changed his mind I came back to fl and went to court and the judge decided that she should stay with him ok. So now his sister told me and so did my child that he left to go GA to work and my child is stating with his mom. I am in fl an I am willing to take my daughter. Now my daughter is being brain washed and saying she doesn't want to come live with me. Being that she would always text me that she did not want to be over there for multiple reasons. What can I do.
A: No, you can't "just go get her". He still has court-awarded primary custody. That he exercises that primary custody by leaving the child with his mother doesn't change that; it's like leaving a child with a baby-sitter while one is working.
