Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

A lady that has been helping me with the kids called social workers on me claming that the kids were not safe with me. The social worker had no choice but to release my kids to me because there is no evidence showing that the kids are in danger with me. So me and my kids left and yesterday she filed a emergency custody order on me which i was not aware of and they granted her custody of my kids till May 11, 2011. When i left the socail worker gave me a prevention plan and i followed all the rules on it and we both signed. So which means the kids were in my custody the day this lady went and signed the eco on me. What can i do to get my kids back faster that may 11, 2011?

This depends on whether your county has family court or not. If it is not a family court county, and the matter is being handled by a district court judge, you could file an emergency motion for entitlement of custody with the circuit court in your county.
