My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CO
I am a father of a 4 year old girl. I was never married to her mom and at the age of 2 her mom and I broke up. Her mom left and we had a verbal agreement on custody. I had her most of the time and she would see her when she wanted too. A few months after that I wrote up an agreement on custody arrangements so we had it written down somewhere for reference. The following year she took out a restraining order on me preventing me from seeing our daughter. I hired a lawyer and fought this charge. The same day she was in court arguing for a restraining order, I was there filing for custody of our daughter. I was served with the restraining order and the 2 weeks later the judge issued a temp order for me to see her 3 days a week.
3 months after that my daughter told me she was being sexually abused by her mom and her new boyfriend. I called the police and took her to a physical examination at a hospital where they found very little physical evidence and by very little evidence I mean irritation. She was interviewed by the poilce and C.P.S where she showed them on a video recording what her mom and her bf did to her.
Longer story short, after we both attained lawyers somehow after that police closed the case and social services wanted nothing to do with it. During this entire time her mother was entitled to supervised visitation and never used her twice a week visitation right to see her, and I had temp full custody. My daughter was at risk of going back there so I asked the court to issue her a passport and the judge ordered it so. I was able to obtain a passport for her and we left the US. The judge rescinded that order the next day but did not alert our attorneys until the day before I flew out and my lawyer did not tell me till after I was in Europe.
The judge since issued a nationwide Failure to comply warrant with no bail and I have yet to return to the US. However when does this become kidnapping?? is a failure to comply a lifelong warrant??
Any help would be great. Thanks
Jay
