Divorce Support Forums: He took my daughter

Thanks Jada. I look forward to your knowledge. I have to make sure we don't postpone for another reason too. I am about a month away from bankruptcy because he is not paying his half of the mortgage and utilities so my lawyer had pushed for an emergency hearing based on that so this will be adressed then too. I didn't sign his paper and he knew I was going to have something for him to sign but after agreeing to sign iniitially at the last minute he refused. I had talked to my lawyer in advance about the possibility and she felt since we don't have any custody on paper I should try not to let her go without him signing but short of physically restraining her and I am sure that would have led to an altercation with him there was nothing I could do as long as our daughter wanted to go. She is 13 and apparently the police would not be able to stop him taking her if she wanted to go with him so all I can do is take this to my lawyer immediately Monday morning. I don't blame my daughter for needing to go. This has been in the works for so long and in the last 8 months she has seen her father a total of 3 days when he came to collect his things and brought his GF to meet his daughter. It was definitely a lose lose situation.
