When my wife and I at the time got divorced I did have visitation rights. At the time she moved from NJ to PA and it was very hard for me to see my kids. I was going to see them until my licenses was suspended due to not paying child support. At this time I was going through many hardships in my life. I did not have a job, a place to stay and even food to eat. In the past year and a half I have stability and have been paying my child support. During those years my ex wife would make it very hard for me to see my kids and would not let me speak to them on the phone. After a few times of having a warrent for not paying child support, My ex mentioned she would drop the child support if I signed a modification for sole physical and legal custody of my two girls. She never did drop the child support. I didn't have any knowledge about custody and what all these terms meant. I just did not want to get locked up again. I just want to see my two girls and be a part of their life (a six year old and an eight year old). Even if I can see them for a few hours and speak to them on the phone.

Recently I went to a mediation after I filed for visitation rights. It went horrible. I did not have a lawyer because I don't have the money to pay for one. The mediators notes say I abandoned the children and I have not seen them in 6 years since the little one was born. This is not true at all. I have pictures and my family has seen them with me. I have not seen them in 4 years because my ex wife would not let me speak or see them and made it very difficult for me. I have been speaking with my ex for all these years and she even held a meeting on June 29th 2008 giving me hope I would see my kids. She told me to write letters and eventually I could see them. I wrote the letters and she hasn't given them the letters.

I don't know what else to do...can you please advise. Thanks

  1. Lawyers have to work so many hours pro bono.  FREE!!!  There are other ways for hardship cases to get free legal help.  Don't give up.  Do some research.  Start with Catholic Charities.  They will put you on the right track.  Good luck.
