my ex had me arrested for criminal contempt for missing one visit, we were moving and he knew we were switching weekends, he came anyway and told police I didn't show up. contempt charges were later dismissed but while I was in jail he filed emergency ex parte to take custody of my daughter he lied and said I was arrested for attempting to abscond the state which is untrue and they also held a modification hearing at which time they granted him interim custody even though the commissioner knew I was never served. Hearing was supposed to be rescheduled after I came home and went to court and was served but when I filed my answer to his allegations and submitting evidence of his prior domestic violence convictions along with his drug charges and dui convictions, I called everyday to see when the hearing would be and they never rescheduled it ... my daughter is not safe with this man and the court has denied me my right to be heard . how can I get my daughter home .. she is 9 and has never been away from me and he is not concerned with the emotional stress this is causing her , he removed her from school, moved her away from her family and friends and took her to a different state . what can I file to have this order overturned or get a hearing as quickly as possible
