Q: Can the courts order my wife to let my children call me every 2 days or so? Can she take them out of state before trial?
I was the stay-at-home father for the past three years due to illness and disability that allows me to not work very much therefore I do not have a steady place for my children to come and stay with me. My wife did not have anybody to watch the children and I needed a place to stay so she was letting me stay at her house and spend time with my children until a week ago she decided to kick me out again for no reason. Now she is not letting my kids call or see me. She has a great lawyer of course and I do not have any legal advice whatsoever. We have a trial next month and I alsi have a SSDI hearing next month as well. I was hoping the courts would order her to let them call me every 2 days or so or let me see them at the park around the corner from her house. Her lease is up in one week and I am afraid she's going to take them out of state. Can she take them out of the state right now while divorce is pending? Any advice on where I can find legal advice for free? Thank you!
A: Call your local bar association and ask where you can find a pro bono attorney.
