On Monday you file an emergency petition for sole custody based on the fact that the mother abandoned her.

This might be trickier than that. If he has proof that the mother says she's leaving the state, that might work (however, don't count on gf's mother testifying against her daughter). What evidence does he have?

If he doesn't have any evidence, he may have to file for an ex parte hearing and explain to the judge that he went to bring the child back and the mother wasn't there, blah, blah, blah.

I think he's going to need an attorney to help.
