Dear dadsdilema:

Greetings. You should immediately hire an attorney in the county of the state that she left to deal with the emergency custody issue. The emergency custody is being filed because she left the state with the children.

A few days ago my daughter left her husband. She had been brow beaten and threatened for years. Her husband and his mother made her sign a paper saying she was leaving on her own accord and then told her to get out. she took the children and went to a friends house as she had no money and no where to go. she called me,her dad, and I sent her money to come to another state where we live as she had no other recourse. Now her husband and his mother are trying to file an emergency custody order. What does this mean? and what should we do?
