custody and visitation are always open to change if there is reason for the change. You don't say why he was able to get custody instead of you, unless it was because he had an attorney and you did not? but try to go to Social Services and talk to them or perhaps even protective services for the child.
You might even write to a local elected official of your state and get him or her involved in looking into this. Unless you did something wrong you are not telling us about the daughter should have been in your custody rather than his. You might also look up legal aid there and see if you find an attorney who will work with you on this or put "pro bono attorneys" in your search engine and find an attorney who will represent you in this matter without charging you.
Once you get her back, you can go to starfall.com and find some great programs to help her with the basics she will need in school as well. Good luck to you!

you're surely being made a fool!!! The verify with the right to verify residency (right here, your husband) holds each and every of the enjoying cards. which ability he gets to opt for the place your son lives...down the line or 2,000 miles away! do no longer sign something from this lawyer--he's asking out to your husband, no longer you. in case you compromise to a foul order and connect up the dotted line, you is in simple terms no longer waiting to alter the order absent contract (and your husband won't agree) or a "fabric and significant substitute" which includes your husband will become a drug addict or beats your baby. In different words, this is an exceptionally stressful burden of evidence to fulfill, that's why he needs you to in basic terms agree and sign the papers. Absent your contract and signature, no decide will furnish a guy who hasn't provided for his baby popular custody...via agreeing you could in simple terms finally end up paying the lifeless beat baby help and giving up your baby. I actual have drafted a great form of criminal workplace work for a majority of those circumstances. As unfavorable because it sounds, attorneys prey on others such as you without criminal illustration. this is a undemanding technique. The lawyer will attempt to tell you each and every little thing interior the workplace work is conventional and this is precisely what you suggested and agreed to and this is how the decide will rule besides--while that's no longer genuine!!! i understand this is costly, yet you could desire to hire your very own lawyer who's obligated to be on your component, no longer your husband's (as his lawyer is) and you is in simple terms no longer bullied via your husband and his lawyer. If it have been in simple terms you against your husband in contact, you ought to combat and win the case on my own; in spite of the undeniable fact that, he has an lawyer so which you opt for one too with a view to be sure a win.
