A: Your case is far too complicate to adequately answer your question in this forum. Additionally, I don't believe you have provided all information necessary. For example: if there is no court order giving your ex custody, and you are the birth mother, you could possibly gain assistance from local law enforcement to retrieve the child. Because your ex is also female I am guessing that she has not been adjudicated as a parent to the child, but you don't address this issue. The best advise for you is to hire an attorney to help you with this.
