I live in Pennsylvania and my sons are in foster care. My ex husband took them for the weekend and immedietly turned them over to child protective services stating that I abandoned them and that he didnt know my wherabouts or how to get in touch with me when in fact he had all my information and knew I would be there the following monday. Since them I have married a wonderful man that is in the United States Army stationed in Ft. Stewart Georgia. My problem is that up until recently I have been told by my court appointed lawyer and cys that I will get custody when the case closes and I will be able to take the kids to georgia with me once base housing has been achieved well I have completed every goal set for me by the agency even going beyond thier expectations but now they are refusing to let me have my kids because thier father does not want me to leave the state. I would like to mention that he has not paid any type of support for 2 years and admitted he does not want the kids.

Write down everything that happens. When you do something for the court or for the kids or when you are contacted or contact your ex.Document everything!If you are with the military he shouldn't have a case against you being out of the state. He can slways find you with the military. If you and hubby go somewhere you should send a certified letter so you will knowthat he gets it and will know where your next move will be.You and he should have to split the cost of traveling for visitation.If he doesn't want the kids and put thm in cps then he shouldn't have much to say. If you were to pick them up at a designated time than that should be on your side also.Just document and certify everything so nothing can be challenged anymore.Write down ever penny you spend on your kids also and your bills and rent,haircuts, shots,meds,scouts,karate, everything that you do for them so you can prove it.Best wishes and I pray that the kids win!

First thing you need to do is get a new lawyer because yours SUCKS !! Get someone certified in Family Law. You should have had your kids back long ago because there was no base to his allegations. How long have you been seperated from your kids ? Since your new husband is in the service you may be able to get a lawyer thru him. I am a single dad in Texas and had to fight with my ex and the court system because of the lies she told. If he has not pais any child support for two years and you know where he is then file on him ASAP and have him thrown in jail and then you can terminate his parental rights. If you still talk to him record every conversation on tape. You can buy the stuff to do it at Radio Shack for under 100.00 dollars for everything. The lawyers will listen to the tapes and hear him admit things he would never say in court. I have done this for over 4 years and record EVERYTHING, even if it does not seem important, you never know. It can work out and you can WIN !! I now have full custody of my daughter and because I was able to prove abuse and neglect with my tapes she only had supervised visits and other than that I have a restraining order to keep her away from us. Get him to admit on tape that he set you up on purpose abd you will have him by the short hairs. Good Luck !!

get custody, and have the kids live with you for at least 6 months where you reside now. you may be able to relocate then...
