You should talk to an attorney right away. If you had an attorney for the original divorce/custody case, you can contact them. It's unlikely she could get a custody order from the court without your knowledge. And yes, if you have a custody order, you can almost always call the police to help you enforce the order. A child custody attorney can explain your options and give you some specific advice on this.
