Re: My ex husband abducted my children to Louisianna! What do I do?
contact the local family court division and ask about the family law clinic. You should be able to get the assistance you need there. They will also be able to review the current court orders etc. The longer you wait to take action the more difficult it will be to get a court order requiring him to return to California.
