Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have joint legal custody, my child is being verbally/emotionally abused by other parent. Denied food or given very little to eat because her mom thinks she is too"fat". Child is with me right now and has stated she doesn't want to go back to mom. Her mom has woken her up at home at1 am to yell and scream at her then to cry and blame her about things in life, to the point this child has to put a chair against her door to keep her mom out. The child is 14 years old. Please advise. We have already called DCFS and our local police department. Child is supposed to return to mom at 7pm tonight.

Your best remedy is to seek an emergency protective order to place the child in your custodial care.
