The answer depends on whether there is an existing custody order. If yes, you cannot remove the child in violation of the existing custody order but you may ask the court to enter an emergency order to protect the child. If there is no existing court order for custody, then you may take precautions to protect your child from imminent danger. You should confer with an attorney for more detailed advice.
