A:
It's really tough when you're trying to maintain contact with your kids and obstacles keep popping up. Since there's already a court order allowing the children to call you, document every instance where this is being blocked. Keep detailed records, as these will be crucial for your upcoming custody hearing.
Given the restraining order and the recent drama, it’s important to stay calm and follow legal protocols. If the restraining order was violated, report it to the authorities immediately. This could help in showing the court that the current environment with the mother might not be in the best interest of the children.
Finding a pro bono lawyer can be challenging, but you can start by contacting local legal aid organizations or family law clinics in your area. They often provide free or low-cost services for those in need. Additionally, some law schools offer clinics where students, supervised by experienced attorneys, can provide legal help. Don't lose hope; there are resources out there to support you and your children during this time.
