I'm very confused. I have fighting my parents in court for 2 1/2 years to regain custody of my daughter. We are in Probate Court and I am clueless. I can not afford a lawyer, being a single mother. I have a full time job, a 3 bedroom duplex, I do not do drugs, and I am not a "drinker". I have never been arrested, and I have never even gotten a parking ticket! Some how my parents have managed to file in court that I attempted to "kill" my daughter and that I am a "bad mother". None of which, is true. I see my daughter (she is 5) at least 3 times a week and I talk to her as many times a day as someone will answer the phone and allow me to talk to her. She means EVERYTHING to me. Our court date is a week away! And my parents are attempting to have my parental rights terminated! I can't let that happen. Someone told me that I need to file to motion to have temporay custody returned to me. Does anyone else know? I've taken a parenting class, read the books, I've done everything I can possibly think of. PLEASE PLEASE someone give me some help, advice, something. Please, I need the support at this time, I'm beyond stressed and I just need help. Please!!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
