Washington State
I am gonna try to make this short although I dont know if I can. My son was taken in 2017 by his father (not on birth certificate and no paternity established). I called the police. The Detective said he would not help me without a custody order because I told him it was the biological father (this happened in Georgia, I now reside in Utah). He took my son to Louisiana then he took my son to Washington State. In Washington State the fathers mom filed for Non Parental Custody with a temporary order (I have no idea why) but anyway the case was dismissed because I showed up to court in Washington and presented evidence that I am a fit mother. I have all of my 3 other children with me. The Grandmother did not show up to court to prove adequate cause. The judge wrote on the dismissal papers "The child should be returned to the mother immediately". I went to the house where he "was" to get my son. The Grandmother answered the door and said "He is not here, his Dad took him and I don't know where they went". I went to the police station. They would not help at all!!!!!! I know I apparently need to get a custody order but can I get a temporary one with a Writ of Habeas Corpus so that my son can be returned to me? I am going crazy because now I have no idea where my child is. Please help!
