Q: I've been fighting to see my kids for over a year and I live in Kentucky but the case is in Tennessee and I need help
A:
It will help any attorney who wants to respond if you could provide more background information.
For example,
1) Who has custody?
2) Is there a Tennessee court order finding that the children were dependent and neglected?
3) If so, does the order reflect that a custody change was temporary?
4) Did you receive notice of the court proceeding that removed custody from you?
5) Did you and the judge sign a form acknowledging that you waived representation of counsel, or were you represented by counsel?
6) How, specifically, have you been "fighting" to see your children, and what are the specific barriers preventing you from seeing your children?
It's very hard to provide any meaningful suggestions beyond "talk to a lawyer" without knowing a lot more about your and your children's circumstances.
