Spring, TX asked in Appeals / Appellate Law and Family Law for Pennsylvania

Q: My ex boyfriend is appealing our child support order and is claiming he has the kids more than 30% of the time, false.

We have 2 kids, he left us about 3 months ago. We had a hearing with a mediator and the ex immediately appealed the order. He is always canceling to get the kids last minute, hasn't even seen them in a week. Is it just his word against mine? Do I need to get a lawyer? I can't afford one. I'm nervous the judge will accept his appeal and I won't be able to support my family. I've tried calling Domestic Relations, but I'm not getting anywhere. Please help.
