Re: Domestic Violence
If there is not a court order for custody and visitation then file the appropriate papers with the court to obtain a court order for custody and visitation. You can also contact the local district attorney regarding the matter. If he has a fresh conviction for domestic violence, he may be violating the conditions of his probation by taking the child. If you have not consulted an attorney you should do so and start immediate action to regain custody of your child.
