I have a 9 year old daughter. For the past year her father has had temporary primary possession of her because of a false affidavit he filed. I have been fighting, the information he filed has been disproved, but I am still working to regain primary custody of her. A month ago there were some very serious crimes committed in her fathers home. His older son on 10 years probation for Manufacture and Delivery of Methamphetamine was arrested at the house for two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. His dogs had gotten out and two little girls in the neighborhood brought them back to the house. He shot out the window of the house at the girls. When the police arrested him, they found drugs all around the house including my daughters bedroom, and her fathers. Her father (unemployed) went on the run with her. She missed so much school and her father did not call the school, after three weeks the school withdrew her because she was a presumed missing child. CPS has an open investigation opened by the police reports.
I was able to get a TRO on her father and a Writ of Attachment for my daughter. The constables located her and returned her to me. However at a hearing a few days later the Judge returned her to her father. He disappeared again the same day. There is no reason that she could not have gone to me, her mother. (Concerned friends have suggested the Judge may have been paid off).
I am desperately concerned for my daughter. I again do not know where she is. She is not in school and no one other than her father has access to her.
Is there any system of checks and balances in Texas Family Court? This is clearly a crisis situation and I need help quickly in order to insure my daughters welfare. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
