Q: Mom tricked me into signing wrong papers giving her full custody of my children, it was only suppose to be temp.
She tricked me into signing a paper saying that it was temporary, and it was for full custody. She had a lawyer and I didn't I trusted her and she is living her second attempt at raising children with my kids, because I asked for help, she did this in order to relive her lost parenthood, and to recieve benefits from state from covid and child support from me. I don't know where to start to.get my kids back, everything is fine now, home, job,transportation, food, everything is in order and she refuses to give them back. What legal action can I take?
A: You're not going to get very far arguing you were tricked. You now need to focus on whether there is a legal change of circumstance or proper cause for the court to reconsider custody, and what are the best interest of the child factors.
