Husband has so much mooney for a shark attorney, I have nothing. He is rich, I am poor. I need help with knowing what to do. He has lied in ex-parte motions I never knew about, and now I have supervised visits at best, thanks to the guardian ad litum he lied to. I need my kids, I raised them, not him. He plays the role of good father right now, but, with his business, he is never around, and it has been like that our whole marriage. He just wants the kids as trophies, and I am terrified for my kids. What can I do?

I would see if you could find an attorney through a legal aid program for starters. A lawyer can help you with filing a motion to have the custody situation reviewed again. Your lawyer could also ask for a different guardian at litum to spend time with you when you are with your kids and give his or her report to the court. My ex tried the same thing but fortunately I did not lose custody. Do not give up!!!

See if your county has a Legal Aid office. Also, call lawyers' offices to see if any are doing Pro Bono (charity) cases. Most importantly, remain stable. Don't move, don't change jobs, keep visitation, etc...it's ridiculous how the law can be so easily manipulated. I had a situation where I raised my kids in his absence, then when it came time for child support court, he filed for custody, and I found myself unable to leave the county, having to go through investigations and a bunch of dispicable bull. I signed off on $2,500 in arrearages and he dropped the motion. Go figure! Good luck though and God bless!

Make sure you want to fight it, whether fighting over the kids will cause more harm to them than he would by himself. If you decide to fight, it will take several years. Start documenting anything he does wrong, watch carefully for signs of abuse. If you can, prove he spends no time with them. Watch for illnesses not tended to by a doctor. Document everything and have witnesses! At some point the Kids will be able to say where they want to live. Some judges will consider a non smoking parent as well. Unfortunately a good lawyer is important, but if you gather enough reasonable and usable evidence you can still win over one of those sharks.
Be prepared for financial difficulty the rest of your life because of this fight.
I wish the best outcome for your children above all, but good luck to you.

It sounds like you need to have an attorney on your side. Find a family practice attorney in your area. Preferably a female. Good attorneys don't all have to be sharks or cost a fortune. There are those out there who will help. Good luck.
