Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My exwife called on Thursday and told me she could not do anything with our 9 year old daughter. Told me to come get her. I did, on Friday. Had her sign a notarized copy of a paper stating that I have custody and that she could visit, upon notification, anytime. Had to have something in order to get her in school, etc. until all the legal papers could be signed and filed. Now she is saying she did not want to give me custody that maybe she could just stay with me a few months then come home. Is the paper she signed any good in a legal defense for my daughter to remain with me? She is remarried, the man has beat my daughter with a plastic spoon and left big round bruises on her. He has only been out of jail for a little over a year where he had been convicted of a felony. I think it was kidnapping with battery.

Sounds like you have a strong case for modifying custody and, yes, the notarized paper is good evidence. Your ex can't use your daughter as a ping pong to bounce between the two of you.
I suggest you obtain a court order for permanent custody.
