my marriage was not working. My husband left Las Vegas where our family had resided for 3 years and went to his home town in Missouri. I made the mistake of my life allowing our 8yr old little girl to go with him to see her grandparents for two weeks then husband was suppose to bring her back to me. The husband has proved awful character and i've found him to be the most dishonest person I have ever met, so before they left to Missouri I wrote a very specific binding contract stateing we both have agreed for April to go on the trip and He has to promise to have her back in las Vegas with me by a certain date. This was on July 12,2004. He rarely lets me talk to her, If he wants something he Uses our girl for blackmail. Just this month After lying to a lawyer and also family courts about having no idea where i was, he managed to divorce me and was given sole physical cousody. I lost by default. I wish I could tell the whole story! Bottom line, I need legal rep.I pray 4 help

when he didnt bring my baby home like he agreed in the contract I immediatly tried to file kidnapping charges. Police said I couln't because we are married and he is her legal father. They said he can take our daughter anywhere he wants. I need to mention that when husband left las vegas he assured me rent was paid all the bills were current. Things turned out to be exactly opposite. I was evicted from apt within the week, My vehicle was repossed and all the sudden I had nothing! No daughter no husband no home,no vehicle, no phone. I was in shock and depressed, totally sick at heart, but I've managed to keep my hope and my faith that soon my baby girl will come home to me. I love her more than words can say. I know God is on our side. Still I pray!

Do you have proof that your husband was residing in Las Vegas six months prior to him moving to Missouri and filing for divorce? If you do, find out what county he is in and contact the clerk of courts in that county immediately. They will direct you through the proper legal channels.
In the meantime, take the legal binding contract you and your ex had prior to him leaving to the police station and file kidnapping charges immediately. If you have a known address, give it to the police, they will transfer the warrant down to Missouri and your ex will be picked up and your daughter returned. Then take all your paperwork to your county courthouse and file for soul custody with supervised visitation.
I've seen this happen a few times in my day and as it stands, with the contract you and him both signed, he's breached it, purjured himself to the courts and is in some pretty big trouble. Now get off this computer and go and get your daughter back...the police department is open 24/7.

I'm sorry, but your "legal binding contract" is neither legal nor binding. People cannot give up their rights. It was not a binding agreement made in a court of law. It has no more legal value than if you husband had agreed in writing to not leave his socks on the floor and scratch himself while watching tv.
I don't want to sound mean, but you appear to have a history of taking people at their word rather than doing the legwork necessary in order to protect yourself. A simple call to your auto lender, landlord and telephone company would have confirmed or disproven what your husband told you about the bills being current.
Why didn't you immediately move to Missouri?
If he had "no idea" where you were, why are you so amazed that he not only got a divorce but sole custody?
Have you tried legal aide to see if they can help you with the custody issue?

1. Dont fall for his blackmail, even if he uses your daughter, or next time he does it, make sure u record it or make him sign somewhere.
i dont know much about the law in your country but i know what works everywhere... prayer. Go to your pastor, fast and pray. i can guarantee u, he is a God of immposibilities, a miracle Working God. Never give up!
