Q: Can I pick my daughter up from her dad's and bring her home if he is refusing to return her home.?
We are legally married but have been separated and living in different states for 3+years(almost 4). He has seen his daughter 3 times since. He asked to have her for the summer. She has special disability and all of her specialists are down here. She also needs MRIs and other important appointments done that her dad has told me I need to cancel. And maybe reschedule because he is not wanting to bring her back. We have nothing in the courts because he basically doesn't ask for her and has said point blank he could never handle her on his own so why bother with the court(hindsight
A: Contact a family law attorney in your area as soon as possible. You may need to file an emergency Motion for Return of Minor Child.
