how do i find out what the court date is if father took child filed for custody will not tell me the actual court date ?

First, if the case is in Dallas county go to http://www.dallascounty.org/ and click on Online Record Searches. You can search family cases by name.

Second, you should meet with a family lawyer immediately. You may have not been properly served in this case. It's important that you get an attorney now to protect your rights. Your attorney can find when the case is set, and work to protect your interests.

Don't delay. Start scheduling consultations with local family attorneys immediately.

If you know the county where the case was filed, call the district clerk's office and tell them the name of the petitioner (the child's father), your name and the child's name. In situations like this though, it is best to consult with a family lawyer.

Good luck
