How do I begin a custody case with my ex when we have never had any court case before just verbal agreements?
My ex and I do not have a formal custody agreement of our 9 year old but she has lived with him the last 3 years. I recently found out that he has moved out of the home and left her to live with his ex-wife. Can I just get her without there being any legal issues? Then how do I get formal custody of her?

Formal custody = Formal legal process
You have to file the requisite paperwork with proper court of law in the court.
