Re: custody/jail
You should contact the police department for help. You do not know where he and your child are at this time. If you can locate the child and his father the court may issue a warrant in lieu of a writ of habeas corpus and have the police arrest dad and bring the child before the court. Speed is important in your case as the child may be in danger and this situation exists the less chance the court will feel that there is an emergency.
