I apologize if this has been asked but my time is somewhat limited for answers.  So here it goes in short. This morning I found out my wife planned on leaving with our daughter after I had left for work, basically sneaking her out while I was gone.  I felt something was up and when I asked if she would be home when I got off she said no.  At this point I told her she could leave but without our child.  She called the sheriff to try and force the issue and was told that she could leave but could not take our daughter.  She loaded up her stuff and left, now she still wants me to let her take our daughter for a few days, she staying at a friends I don't know.  I have an appt with an attorney Monday.  My question is what can I do to protect my daughter from being taken?  My fear is I won't get her back.  I've told my wife she is free to come back while we process the paperwork or just visit if she wants.  But I don't trust her to just handover my daughter.  Any advice out there?  Thanks in advance.
