I need to see what me and my fiance need to do to file for emergency custody of her two daughters, age 12 and 14. Last night their father who has custody of them physically and mentally abused one of the girls. DHR came to their school today and questioned them and removed them from his home and placed them with his father. Apparently this is the second time they have removed them from the home. We just found out about the first time DHR removed them. We have a stable, clean home and we are more than able to care for them emotionally and financially. Can someone please tell me how we go about filing for emergency temporary custody in Mobile, AL? We have money to pay a lawyer but from what I understand we need to beat the grandfather to the courthouse and file before he does. The girls desperately want to live with us and we desperately want them. We have been putting money away for a lawyer to file for custody for some time. Clearly is the time Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
