As I told in the previous post my h kicked me and my son out of the house. Now he asked me to go back and because I said no he went to the kindergarden and took him. So I have to go back, this is a nightmare, an endless one.

What can I do next?

Call 1-800-799-7233. That's the national domestic violence hotline. They will connect you to a local resource.

You need to go to the police and report this.

You need to go to court and get an emergency order that gives you temporary emergency custody of your son.

A local domestic violence group will be able to tell you how to get a place to stay, how to file the police report, and how to get an emergency court hearing.

This craziness needs to end, today.

DO NOT go back to the house. Call that number and GET YOURSELF HELP. Now!

Call an attorney. Now. Call your family and talk to your parents (or whomever you're closest to). Ask for help. Don't go back.

this is why you MUST protect yourself and your son legally. without talking to an attorney and the people at the shelter, you have no record, no recourse, and no clue what to do next.
this website will not help you other than to encourage you to do what you have to in your actual life. make that call NOW.

I know everyone is saying to call the police but this is a civil matter (the child custody) unless the Courts are involved and you have a Custody Order. I say this because your husband has just as much right to custody of your son as you do. I know that is not what you want to hear but it is the truth.

You need to speak to an attorney IMMEDIATELY!!! As far as him kicking you out of the home - he can NOT do that, nor can his parents as it is your legal residence.

Bottom line is GET TO AN ATTORNEY NOW & CONTACT YOUR LOCAL WOMEN'S SHELTER

You get a lawyer and you get custody.
You set up with the school who is permitted to pick your son up (same with daycare).
He has, in effect, kidnapped your son.

If you decide not to get your son right away, go to a woman's shelter first. Do not call the police, he has just as much right to your son as you do and with no custody order, it's his word against yours about what has been going on. The fact that he kicked you out of the home works in your favor in finding shelter, they will help you work out the rest.

IF you decide to go back, do with a definite plan to get out with your child, like, tonight. Stay within eye shot of his parents at all times so you have witnesses to what happens while you are there. Bring a friend with you if you have to, it's time to call someone to help. I know many are telling you not to go back, but he has your son and you know it's not safe for him there. Unless you truly believe that your husband will hurt you and/or your son if you go back, go get your boy and get to a women's shelter (or at least a good friend's house where you can stay for a day or two with your son) in your area immediately.

One more thing, you can't tell the school that he can't pick up your child unless there is a legal finding for that. You need a lawyer to put something like that in place. This is why finding legal help immediately is important.

You need to call the police. NOW. Honestly, time is working against you here. The sooner you get them involved, the stronger your case will be. What your husband did is illegal. You and your son have legal rights. But if there's a delay in your response, they'll twist that against you.

I mean it, I mean, I mean it. Stop what you're doing and CALL. THEM. NOW.

Do not go back. Every time you go back, you allow him to treat you wrong.

You need to hire a lawyer. You need to get custody of your son, full physical custody and child support. Get a restraining order against him.

You can get your son back legally. Tell the police what happened. I would hope they can help you.
