My question involves a child custody case from the State of: West Virginia
A few years ago I signed over temporary custody of my child to my mother because of personal issues. The original aggrement was that she would sign custody back to me when I got back on my feet. When the time came she, my mother, refused to sign custody back to me. Therefore I fought in court to get custody. After years of court dates and endless fighting with my mother I was awarded custody, but they gave my mother visitation. She was supposed to see her every weekend or whenever we both agreed was convenient.
Halloween of 2016 I went to my mothers house to pick up my daughter after I got off work. When I tried to pick her up my mother refused and started a fight which then upset my daughter and she was crying, my mother continued to yell and cause a scene. I then grabbed my child and put her in the car and left. After that incident I tried to call my mother and she refused to answer my calls. My sister also tried to contact her but she wouldn't speak to anyone. This went on for a few months. I called numerous time and even tried to go to her house and she refused to answer. Around Christmas time I started having police and CPS come to my house because of calls and false allegations my mother had made against me, which she had done a lot in the past. The harassment continued over the next few months and it got to the point where I was living in fear of someone taking my child. I decided in April 2017 to move to Florida.
About a week ago I had a CPS worker come to my house because of an anonymous call made to their office, which I know was my mother. So now its been a year since my mother has seen my daughter. Next thing I know I get an email from my lawyer in West Virginia that says I have a family court hearing in a week. I don't know what to do. I don't want to loose my child and I also don't want to continue to be harassed by my mother. I cant call or contact her because she has moved and changed her number. What should I do?
