I assume that you do not currently have a custody order. When there is no custody order, each parent has equal rights to the child, so if she picked the child up for a visit and didn't return the child, then you would have to go to court and plead your case on why you should have custody.

You might be best served by having a consultation with an attorney as you may want to file for custody now. THis way, you will have a custody order in place that will protect your rights.

If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to give me a call. I offer free phone consultations.
