Filing for Child Custody Without an Attorney 

😢 I am fighting a man trying to take my kids from me. Throwing anything and everything he can think of. Made up or not. I am and have always been the custodial parent fighting against a guy narried to an individual who works within the court system where our case is. To top it off, I have adhd so I look at the for example say 5 steps, and I see 1000 steps. I freeze and just sit there stressed out and panic induced. I am so desperate

Excellent! Thank you. I’m helping a friend. His baby’s mother is not letting him see his son. He is 2 and the mother only let him have 10 minute visits and the past 4 months refuses to respond to his requests. parent alienation is abuse in its own right. He has to efile. It talks about mediation of which she refused when he asked her. Is this a something we need to address further? . Should he submit evidence showing her refusal to allow him to see his son? It’s text messages mainly.?

thank you for your well informed videos. they are very informational and to have someone who understands moms who have been through a lot means a lot. Like you said it's not normal what we go through. But I pray that Gods will be done.

What if you're not in the position to house the kids 100% and shes on housing but suffering from borderline personality disorder and narcissism. I wouldnt want anything from her just my kids full time.

I'm a dad who's been falsely accused of everything you talked about. It's taken me nearly a decade, but I've managed to prove all the accusations unfounded. Though it's likely that I'll soon have physical custody, I'm not going to push for full legal custody right away because I want our child's mom to stay involved. I'm trying to bring a family together around our child; not push it apart. Even though my co-parent is unhealthy and adversarial, I still know that she's our child's mom and there's a bond there which has to be cared for. Until she proves to me definitively that she can't contribute to constructive decision making, all I really want is for her to get counseling, get well and stay involved. This is my approach even after she's made horrible false accusations which have caused terrible injury to our child and both of our families as well as obsconded with our child to the other end of the continent. I'm still investing in co-parenting because that's what our child really needs. You have to love your kid more than you love yourself and act like it. You have to suck it up and do right. I think it's really important that you present this as a situation which rolls both ways. The gender of the parent isn't relevant here. Mental health challenges aren't about gender; and neither is growing up with a parent with mental health issues. What is relevant is that you make every single effort to work things out with your co-parent in some cooperative way before choosing the nuclear option of seeking full custody. Seeking full custody pretty much says you're no longer interested in co-parenting which is a sentiment that's never well received by a judge, except in the most extreme circumstances. You seem well intentioned. I just want to put that angle out there for you to consider.

I am pro se in Kentucky. We are the biological grandparents of my granddaughter that is in foster care. My oldest daughter is mentally ill and has lost her rights to her first child already. They are terminating her rights on her second child now. We initially had placement. My oldest daughter made false allegations against us and instead of contacting the family member that I gave them the info for, they put her in foster care. We have been foster parents for over a year now. The Cabinet started a reintegration plan with us twice and then suddenly ended it. After we told the current foster parents that they could not adopt our granddaughter, the foster mother made false allegations against us and now we have not seen her in over 4months. We have a Verified Motion for Permanent Custody filed. It will be heard tomorrow. Please keep us in your prayers.

What a wealth of information thank you

Thank you so much for this video!!!

Thank you, this is such a helpful video ❤ I notice you said you have experience with Oregon and Colorado. Do you know anything about moving a custody case from the original state to a state the children currently live in so it can be modified in the new state? My original case is in TX but the kids and I have lived in WA for 5 years now. Not sure where to start on a modification asking for full custody.

You’re absolutely right, dads are typically better parents

Court clerks in my county won't help with anything.....

I have court on the 24th of June my attorney withdrew from my custody/divorce case because I fell behind on payments now I'm struggling to come up with another down payment for another attorney I have just over a month before my court date I'm not sure what to do? I have the kids with 95 percent of the time if you can point me in the right direction maybe If I should go to the county clerk and file all my evidence in my case I'm just very lost and uncertain what to do at this point?

Thank you

I filed my petition for custody after CPS took my kid from her mom, i got her counter claim whatever and shes requesting full custody again. I dont know what to do next. The courts accepted the case, but she just got a lawyer im filing pro se lol i just, should file motions incluing evidence and request a hearing?

How bout leaving out of state without consent and no court anything yet?
