There are many lawyers who will do work for very little money. You should be able to find one near you.

Legal services are available in alll states. I have had to this service a few times.
They give advice and will assign a lawyer to help with this. Now, as far as I know, he should get the children because his wife has health issues and no job. The court must look first at the physical, economical and physolocial status of both parents. The one that is more fit will take the kids. Now, she can not take the kids out of the state because the divorce is not yet finalized. This is in all states. If she take the children with her, this is ilegal and can be called kidnapping. The judge has to decide who get the kids, where will they stay and the parent who lost will have limited visiting rights and at this with supervision. If legal services are a bit slow and the case to be seen by the judge is long off and she wants to move ASAP, then he will have to go to the police and file a complaint explaining all details of the case and tell of her illnesses and her being uncapable of taking care of 2 teenage children. The police can intervene and put a restaining order on her temporarily until the judge see the case.

He needs to go to the court house and let them know what is going on....they will give him papers to fill out and he will have to pay filing fees, but usually they will not let her leave until the court hearing and that will give him some time. It will be up to the Judge then. Get to that courthouse and hurry so she don't leave!~Personal Experience.......I helped my cousin through a similar situation with his ex-wife. The Judge did grant the move but she has to meet hm half way for each visitation. She was not allowed to leave until court though. Here the filing fee was only 35.00. No atty needed. Hope everything works out!!!!!!!!!!
