In addition, mother has changed their last names without my consent, won't allow communication or location thereof over last 3 years (Me in Nebraska her and them in California), legal aid their states help if only a CA citizen or minority and I am living on almost welfare to boot now due to the extreme back owed.
Oh and she kicked me out to have affair and keep kids that I raised and paid for in first place.

Do you want contact with your children? Then you need to step up and fight for them. California is pretty fair when it comes to dads. Your children have legal rights to have contact with you. Unless you are found unfit for some reason. Do you have a court order? You need to find an attorney within the jurisdiction from the lastest court order. Good luck and you really need fight for this. Your kids need to have contact with their father, it may scar them for life you don't want them to think you abandoned them do you?

She has to garnish your wages to get support?
I don't care what color your skin is. Now let's talk about you.
Poor, I understand.
Now understand this. Unless you did anything that would harm the welfare of those children, or would make a judge think you would harm them, you have to be allowed to see them.
You may very well have to travel to California to do that, unless you can pay the transport costs. Both ways. In advance.
Last names are crap, and a non issue. That is an ego thing man, get over it.
So, how were you planning to visit them a thousand miles away?
I am not being mean here, just pointing out some facts.
Separate the important stuff out from the unimportant. You want visitation with your kids? Figure out what you have to do to be a father to them. Yeah, mom is elsewhere. Screw her. What can you do to help parent your children?
You get that part right, you will see them.

I"m not sure your childrens name can be changed without you signing something. Check into that.
You need a lawyer.
How was she able to take the kids to California? Go back to court and file for an amendment to the visitation agreement.
Men are getting more rights now than ever. The legal system seems to have figured out that you are parents too. Good luck and stick with it.

It sounds to me like we're not getting the whole story. If there is no underlying issue, contact a lawyer in CA to fight for you. If you cannot make it out there for every court date, you don't have to. But it would look better if you did. The name thing, I do believe that is not legal. You need to get a copy of your divorce papers and sit down and read line for line to see what it says about visitation. If there is nothing stated, you need a revision.

State of Nebraska Statutes
Section 42-364.15
Enforcement of visitation orders; procedure; costs.
In any proceeding when a court has ordered a parent to pay, temporarily or permanently, any amount for the support of a minor child and in the same proceeding has ordered visitation with any minor child on behalf of such parent the court shall enforce its visitation orders as follows:
(1) Upon the filing of a motion which is accompanied by an affidavit stating that either parent has unreasonably withheld or interfered with the exercise of the court order after notice to the parent and hearing, the court shall enter such orders as are reasonably necessary to enforce rights of either parent including the modification of previous court orders relating to visitation. The court may use contempt powers to enforce its court orders relating to visitation. The court may require either parent to file a bond or otherwise give security to insure his or her compliance with court order provisions.
(2) Costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, may be taxed against a party found to be in contempt pursuant to this section.

CA has this new thing where you can appear in court via phone. Every county has a FAMILY LAW COURT FACILITATOR. Contact the county she lives in and speak to the Facilitator. The Facilitator is an attorney you can speak to free of charge that the county provides. Sometimes depending on the list of people they have to see they may even have the time to fill out documents. That's where you can start the Facilitator should be able to help you further. I wish you luck. CIAO

Contact your lawyer, and explain to him what is going on. And, see if you can bring her back into court, maybe the judge can order her to keep the obligation of letting you see your kids, you have that legal right. And, see if the judge can order the kids to have your last name back, since she did not have the courts permission or yours to change those names to someone else's last name.

Take her *** back to court.
If you were granted visitation rights, she can't legally deny them.
My parents had to switch holidays every year (Mom lived in Colorado and I lived in Texas with my Dad). I'd go there Thanksgiving one year and Christmas the next.
If you're paying child support and all that, the court would have your side.

I would suggest going to legal aid and talking with someone there.Also most lawyers will offer a free consultation where you can talk with someone about how to go about seeing your kids.I know its not fair to you or your childrenAlso you might try talking to the judge at the courthouse.
