Q: Me ex husband and I have been sharing custody of our daughter for 8 years without papers now he is refusing to give her
Back to me or let me talk to her what do I do
A: If you do not have any paperwork/orders signed by the Judge detailing your custodial time then you need to file something with the Court asking that custodial time be set which will detail when you exercise custodial time and when your ex does. If you have such an order and he is in violation of it, then you need to file something with the court--possibly a motion for contempt----saying he is not following the Judge's order-----my recommendation is that you contact a few family/custody attorneys to discuss these issues and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.
