I would suggest get in contact with the child support office in your area and for custody get in touch with the county court house and let them know what has happened as well, they might be able to contact her. Godd luck!!![8D]
Dear pgato64,
The first step you should take is to do your best to find out where she is, once you find her you can serve her with a complaint for custody. In the meantime, while your daughter is in your care and your ex cannot be found, you can make all of the decisions for your daughter.

Hi,
I’m a divorced male in NC and my ex wife and I have had a verbal agreement on the custody of our 13 yr old daughter. She has spent equal time with both of us but nothing in writing. On December 30, 2006 my ex informed me she was moving the next day to California and eventually back to her home country (Guatemala). She left our daughter with me. I want to file for sole custody and child support now but I have no way to contact her or know where she is. How do I go about doing it?
