She can’t file at fault for abandonment unless it’s been 2 years. There’s nothing she can do at this point.
So leave, pick your kid up from school, take her to your apartment, and when wife asks when she gets the kid back, tell her when there is a signed custody agreement.
I think that could be considered kidnapping. I wouldn’t recommend this.
If OP picked up the child at school and moved her to California or Alaska it wouldn't be kidnapping. It wouldn't be a smart legal move, but definitely not illegal. If he moved the child to China it might be international parental child abduction, which is a crime.
This is not true. It is only true if there is one custodial parent and one non-custodial parent. If there is joint custody, then this could be a violation of your custody agreement. You need to check your custody agreement and the appropriate state laws. If you do not have a custody agreement, then it is assumed you have joint custody and you may need to ask your co-parent for permission to travel with your child out-of-state. If you don't and your co-parent objects, you could be considered in contempt of court or violation of your custody agreement or in extreme cases, kidnapping.
Here is one description of the issues. There are many others. Do your research before you try to travel without consent of the other parent.
