Document, Document, Document everything!!! Hire the nastiest lawyer you can find that is very skilled in family law. Make sure your attorney files a counter suit saying you want custody, child support etc. I actually had a woman lawyer that was very good and nasty.  I had a x that was doing the same thing, charging everything and getting credit cards without my knowlege. Ran up thousands of dollars in charges before I caught on. Run a credit check on her to see what else is out there. Make sure your attorney makes her produce all documents in discovery. Ask for everything, all bank records, work history, medical records etc. Document all charges she put on the cards. I know it can seem like overload sometimes but hang in there. Have your attorney state in the decree that she cannot move the child out of the county you now reside. I got mine on that and took her back to court. The judge nailed her on it and had to pay my attorneys fees and I now have custody of my child. Has your x had any mental problems? Depression, drug use etc? Not treating your child right? Leaving her at different places? Not doing what the judge said? (big one) Document everything to do with your child. Where she goes with your x, how she is treated while at your x, does x have a boyfriend coming over etc. Go after her on that if you can. I live in Tx and they have started to come down on child custody a little harder the last couple of years and dads are having better luck in gaining custody now.  But be very careful, women with this mentality will do anything to get at you. Try to stay with relatives or friends while you have visitation so you have witnesses on how you treat your child. (until divorce is final)I know this sounds like over kill but you may need them if she turns postal on you and accuses you of not treating your child right. Again very important.. Make sure your lawyer is very versed in family law. Mine could actually reicite the laws to the judge per batum in court that my x had broken. That helped a lot.
