    See my little girl
    I'm still married to my little girl's mother, I'm going to court next month to get divorce. I have legal full custody of my little girl but her mother took her 4 days ago and now she won't letme see my girl. I called the police but they are not helping. What can I do?

    How were you awarded full custody? If you have a court order awarding you full or even primary physical custody, then the police should help you go pick up your daughter.

     A legal agreement was made by a lawyer giving me full custody it was signed by me my x and 2 witness and notarized. So legally I have full custody of my girl. What can I do to see my girl?

    Did a court ratify this agreement? If not, I doubt if it has any legal force. If you took it to court, it would probably be ratified. But if you didn't then it has no force of law and your x can recant it at any time. I'm surprised your attorney didn't explain that to you.

    So, since you both have equal custody under the law, she can keep the child until you get a court order.

    I am also surprised at that. This would explain why the police won't enforce it.
