get a child advocate's office on the phone and tell them that your ex husband has not been letting you see the children and have them write a letter to the judge acknowledging the fact that you have not be able to see the kids . also he has no right to keep the kids from you and nor the right to not let them talk to you . good luck .

Not my question, but I vote for Kate M. Contact legal aid or someone. No one says when a woman has custody that the man has no right to see the children. We don't know the circumstances. Each case is individual. Unless you were and are in the state of mind to case mental or physical harm to your children, then you should be able to see them. Call around. You may be able to obain free legal services. You should not have to go to court, if a judge has ordered visitation rights for you, but if need be, there is help.

If you have court ordered visitation, you should exercise it.
Obviously there is a reason they were put in the custody of their father. You will probably not get them back if you continue to avoid your court ordered visitation.

okay well i used to have to go to supervised visitation with my dad once a week because the court gave my mom custody of me because he was abusive, and i really didnt like seeing him so i personally went to the judge and told hiim and now if he comes near me he goes to jail. so i mean, if they gave the dad full custody maybe there's a reason behind it? and if you REALLY want custody of the child try harder, let them know that you really care about them, because thats something my dad didnt do so i completely blocked him out of my life that was in 6th grade now i'm in 9th and i havent seen him since. so i think what you should do first is talk to your children about it, ask them if they REALLY want to be with you, and tell them to be COMPLETELY honest, tell them that you'll love them no matter what they do, and if they REALLY wanna see you, THEY can bring it up to the court and then the court will decide, and if their too young, and you really really want them to be with you, and you know it is a good decision, then you dont needa lawyer, the judge can really tell, and if you dont have the money for court alone, take out loans

well in order for you (the mother) to lose custody of the children you would have had to really really really mess up. Maybe it was drugs, alcohol, prison, a combo of all three, i dunno, those are just a few of the typical reasons why a mother would lose custody. So in order for the father to not allow visitation, i'm guessing you went back to the crack pipe or whatever the reason was. this is a good reason to keep the kids away from you. If you want to see the kids you need to quit whatever it was that made you lose custody in the first place.

first of all WHY haven't you seen your children? If it is by your choice then WHY would you want to go back to court? And YES in order to get a custody/visitation order changed you HAVE to go to court.

QUESTION???? If they gave you visitations a year ago how come you haven't visit them? did your husband denied you visitations? or you just haven't made the move.. it depends you need to clarify this for us.. if he denies you to see them, then the next step is to call the lawyer you had in that hearing,and let him know you need another hearing to get those visits started. and if you haven't see them simply because you haven't made the effort to see them then simply call your ex and ask him when would be fine to get those visitations started.. Good luck.

Sorry but I think they are better off with their dad. Maybe the judge made that decision for a reason.
