I desperately need anyone's help. My 6 year old daughter is in the Domincan Republic (with her father, a Swiss national) and it came to my attention on my last visit with her in July that he is sexually molesting her. She was begging me to bring her with me to Canada, and she does in fact have Canadian citizenship. The problem is that the father obtained an illegal order for temporary custody and my hands are tied.
I was never given notice of a custody hearing nor have I ever received a copy of this order.
I spoke with a legitimate lawyer in Puerto Plata and she advised me that I need to move down there for 6 or 7 months to fight this order he has.
Given the fact that she is being abused and traumatized on a daily basis, I cannot let this go on for 6 or 7 months, by doing things the legal way. She is begging and crying on the phone to me to bring her here.
I need someone to recommend a lawyer who has good connections to a judge that can get me a temporary custody order so I can remove her right away. I really don't care how much it costs or whether it is done illegally or not. I am well aware that in the D.R. for the right price you can get anything done.
I am a hard working law abiding citizen and normally I wouldn't do anything illegal but this is breaking my heart and I need to help her anyway I can.
If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
