If you are keeping journals, you might start one with a record of all the things that your husband has done that are abusive to you and that broke agreements. Document when he left, and how long it was before he thought to try to take care of his daughter. Include taking the car keys and not returning them in a timely fashion, taking the child and not bringing her back at the agreed upon time, taking her out of state and preventing you from visiting with her, anything else he has done to show the judge how he is mistreating you. Put in dates, if there were witnesses, things like that. This is something you could do tonight instead of worrying.
