My daughter left her mom's house because of the living conditions. She asked me to pick her up because she had no where to go. She is now at my house. What can I do to get temp custody and get her enrolled in school? Her mother and I were never married and he child support case was established with the State of Florida.
Your inquiry does not state, but do you have a court-ordered time sharing plan, or has one never been established? If you only had an order establishing paternity and child support, then you may not even have any legal rights (that have been established) to haver your daughter with you.
You would need to file an Emergency Motion for Temporary Change in Timesharing, and also a Petition to Establish timesharing or to Modify what had been previously established. You need to be prepared to show the court why it is in your daughter's best interest to no longer live with her mother.
I am also assuming that both mother and father live in Florida? There are other complications if not, but the case should be filed where the child last lived.
Best of luck,
