Is there anything i can do to see my my daughter before we go to court, which is next tuesday?

I don't know what the reasoning is for why he felt your daughter was in danger being with you but I do know that he can do it. He had to have told the judge something pretty bad in order for a judge to take a child away from their mother. I would talk to the lawyer and find out what was said and then do your best to try and prove him wrong. Unfortunatly, he does not have to let you see your daughter and if the judge gives him custody of your daughter for good, they might make you have supervised visitations for a little while on a temp basis. If they do that though, I would request that it be done in a center where a staff member will watch you with your daughter and then report to the judge. That can work in your favor because it happened to one of my friends and how he sees him son whenever he wants to and can bring him where ever he wants to bring him.

You will not be allowed to see your daughter before going to court. In some cases a judge will grant tempory custody there would have to be just cause for the judge to grant that. It is strange to me how he could of pulled this off. Even in order to get tempory custody it still has to be filed though the court and takes a few days.where was the child that he was able to pull this off without you being aware? If you have done nothing and he has lied to the court,then you should be able to get custody back,I would sujest you have an attorney. Unlesss your not stating everything here,you should have know reason to not get your child back,if he has lied to the court in order to get tempory custody he can be charged with fraud. I hope that the truth comes out and you get the child back.

Emergency Ex Parte orders are used when the petitioning party suggests that there are urgent reasons not to inform you and take you to court the standard way. By doing this it usually has to be because of something dangerous to the child: for instance...I received temp emerg. cust when my ex girlfriend filed a police report that her boyfriend beat her, raped her and molested/beat my 2 year old....then married him a week later. I had no idea whether it was true or not but I would have been an idoit to have allowed it to happen and it be true...I was granted temp custody without notification to her because she had a past of moving and running from CPS..and if she was notified I had good cause to show she might run. The order was good for 1 week and I had to serve her with the reasons at the same time the police and I grabbed my daughter...so you should KNOW because you were HAD to be served. (If you didn't get served seek a lawyer immediately, this is cause for it to be revoked) You MUST file a response to this prior to going to court or you will lose. You probably should try to get an attorney if these allegations are untrue. In my case she lied...I gave my daughter back...however I have now had her for three years because everything she says is untrue and was damaging to our childs mental health. So there is one example of how it is done. So File a response...seek legal representation and good luck...RWH
