A: I am sorry that a judgment for possession was entered against you. You have not given any explanation as to why you believe the judgment was "unlawful." Regardless, I suggest you begin making quick plans to vacate if there has not yet been an execution. You could contact legal services in your area, but realize that it is not easy to find free representation, especially if an appeal to the court of appeals is necessary.

The fact that you and your sons are disabled is sad and I don't mean to sound harsh, but from a legal perspective it is probably not relevant to the question of whether you had honored your payment obligations to your landlord.

Best wishes nonetheless.
