I got divorced in 1994 and got custody of my 3 children, we had seperated 3yrs before when my children were 3,2, and 6 months old. So now my kids are 18, 17, and 15. My kids havn't seen there mom since we divorced in 94, she has not sent a letter card or even call them. Now she's filing bankruptsy and I find out the other day she's taking me to court to file for custody and parental rights. Neither of us live in Nebraska but thats where the case is cause thats where we live when we divorce. I tried to get raise in support 6 months ago and was denied cause I moved the kids from the state without getting the courts permission. Actually we moved to the Philippines and I think she's counting on us not going to court so she can win and get child support stopped. The truth is we can't go back now cause the 2 kids are in college and we don't have the money to travel like that. Any sugesttions

You should not need to go back to Nebraska if you can find a lawyer who can handle it for you there. Ask the lawyer's advice about appearing in person. It is always best to be there if possible; but this is an extreme case.
Contact the Nebraska Bar Association as soon as you can for a recommedation.
Best of luck.
