the oldests father, she has been hiding and running from him since i met her(8 years), the house she lived in(her moms trailor) is where she i now staying. he is a dander to my children because of all the abuse he has done to her. i am worried he will find her again and my childrens safety will be jeopardized.
Not gonna help you.
in ur experience what are my chances of getting a pick up order?
Honestly? I think they're slim at this point. You might get a judge to issue an order for her to return the children to the jurisdiction of the court, but that is NOT the same thing.
i mean is this abandonment? can a judge orde that the kids stay in this state?
No, it's not abandonment.
Yes, a judge COULD order it - at least for the 2 youngest ones - and it's probable that you'll get an order for Mom to return the children. It's likely to be a process though - one that includes allowing mom to screw up and refuse to obey the orders of the court.
It's VERY easy in the 2 states that I've had to deal with, to get copies of BCs though. In MO, you just have to go to ANY county health department and fill out a request and they print you one out. In KS, you just have to go to the Department of Vital Statistics in the capital and fill out a request. It took about 15 minutes for them to print mine for me.
