Q: I am in desperate need of assistance finding help in seeing my three daughters who are being kept out of contact with me
After drafting a separation agreement stating the girls would reside with me, my spouse decided to skirt the law and removed them from the home and has kept them out of contact with me since July 2018. He was able to enter an order that is flawed in several ways in Oct. 2018 and is standing behind that. I was not allowed to even speak let alone present my case yesterday in domestic court when I had filed a motion to modify in an attempt to proceed with mediation and speak with/see them, due to the lawyer who helped him enter the order and the judge who signed it trying to cover their mistakes. The motion was dismissed almost immediately and I was not allowed to present Any evidence at all to the same judge who originally signed it. I have refiled the motion and have a new date of April 29th and am in contact with the mediator but also in need of legal assistance as there is obviously something amiss.

A: What is 'amiss' is you trying to do your own legal work and you are not an attorney. Would you ever in a million years think to yourself - "know what, I know I'm not a mechanic but I'mma go ahead a rebuild my car's transmission - how hard could it be". Compared to legal work - you'd likely have better luck rebuilding the transmission properly. You need to hire an attorney. Best of luck.
