He wont give daughter back HELP

[peepomum]

Long time lurker, Bit of background, partner has been quite controlling finally standing my ground but all hell broke lose as I went out on friday. Then the you have been with another man crap starts etc... cut a long story short he asked to have DD yesterday. He has now turnt his phone off and sent me an email saying not to bother collecting her because he wont hand her over? What shall I do? Would the police help??

Is he your partner or your ex partner?
I think you need to get some legal advice ASAP. I don't know if the police will help, you could try, but I think they tend to stay out as long as the child is with one of their parents.
Good luck

Could you go round to collect her as arranged, as if you haven't seen the email? Then if he refuses (which he hasn't actually done yet, just said he will) phone the police while on his doorstep?
I realise this might be potentially upsetting for your dd, but equally it may be that he lets her go with you when you call his bluff.
Get your facts straight re. your rights before you go, if she's normally resident with you them he has no right to change that arrangement, I think (but not an expert).
Good luck, and well done for standing up to him.

Does he had joint parental responibility? and do you have a residence order?

Is he on the birth certificate? If not, call the police. If he is, he has every right to keep her (by law) and the police can't do anything. You would need to apply for an emergency residence order to get her back.

Unless you already have a residence order, if he is breaching it call the police.

Thanks for your replys.He is on the birth certificate. I know he wont let me have her, She normally stays with me. He is only doing this out of spite. He caused so much trouble last time I managed to get away, asssualted my mum etc. Im gonna look into the order now thanks xx
