Hello and Goodmorning.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Sorry about not posting a reply again, I was not near a computer.
My weekend went okay.
I went Kyaking with my oldest son on Lake Lewisville. It was so nice.
We were wore out by the time we mad it back to shore.The current was pretty strong and kept pulling us in the opposite direction.
I have a question for you all.
I have tried repeatedly for a week to get a hold of my boys. I call but it constantly goes to voice mail. When I try from a different phone, a number that Empty does not recognize he answers.
Now he just does not answer at all.
Would it be out of place if I called a family memeber to check on my boys and see how they are doing.

You need an attorney, not a family member.

Get your rights to spend time with your kids secured.

No money is no excuse.

Call legal aide in your area.

Pep

Pepper, I have been to legal aid.
I make to much money.
They cannot help me.
I have talked to other attorneys who want 4000 up front.
I checking into filing on my own for visitation until we file for Divorce.

You should be able to find an attorney who will take a smaller retainer. My own attorney didn't charge me her "usual" retainer because she knew I couldn't afford it. I believe with many attorneys, this amount is negotiable.

lucidity...

you can not check in to things..
you must act...

there is NO scarlet A branded on you...

you fold under your spouses wrath to the point that it paralyzes and you give in to his blow hard ways...

but what you are really losing is your
RIGHT to your children...because you GIVE him too much power.....

you need to detach totally from his forced victim guild trip...

there is no respect or honor in a BS that uses the children as weapons.......
there is no justification just as there is none for the WS...

you have rights and you must exercise them...
inspite of your own remorse and guilt....
you must channel that emotion and energy....

keep acting....

why don't you move closer to where your boys are?
even just logistically that places you in a better position..
and tough tough tough if husband doesn't like it..

ARK

Great advice here.

And I agree with ark. -> Don't check into it. DO IT.

Attempting to get what you want with Empty and his family is useless. Frustrating for everyone... and not accomplishing anything.

If I remember where you're at, there are over 11,000 attourney's practicing in that area. And yes, I'm sure that there are some that require a high retainer but I'm also sure that there are some that would only require between 500 & 1500. Granted you may not qualify for "legal aid" but call them and ask for some reasonable priced lawyers and then let your fingers do the walking.

If you and Empty can't even talk, why do you believe that he'll settle with you and sign any papers you, personally, draw up?

I've heard on this site a million times that LOVE is an action verb. So for the LOVE of your sons, take action.

My lord lucidity, these are your children you enlist the help of any allies you have, especially those who can get past your BS/WS. All this while you are pursuing legal action.

Can you go down to Friend of the Court and explain your story to them? See if there is ANY thing they can do to help.

Myself I would be at the court house askin for emergency intervention but I would start with the police station because they are usually very helpful in cases where one parent is keeping the children from the other.

Lucidity, you have a God given right to be on this earth and to see your children. You are not a child abuser are you? Then why are you letting him get away with this.

Will be thinking of you through this lucidity.
