What is the name of your state? Texas

A year ago I lost my job and was unable to find work. I was a single mom with two daughters who depended on me to take care of them. Due to my inablility to find work making what I was at my previous job, I lost everything I owed. (house, car, etc.).
During this time of hardship I asked my ex-husband and his wife to please take our two daughters for about 6 months or until I could get back on my feet. They agreed and we signed a document stating that they would take the girls until I could get another job and another place for us to live.
To make a long story short, his attorney took that document we signed and copied my signature onto a completely different form, then proceeded to submit that forged document in court against me causing me to lose custody of my children. Despite the fact that I was sitting there on the stand telling the judge I had never seen that document before much less signed it, the judge not only never questioned his attorney nor requested to see the original document but accepted the copy and awarded my ex sole custody of our two daughters. I was just trying to do what was in my children's best interest due to my circumstances and was completely indigent when we ended up in court. I did everything I said I was going to do within 6 months of asking my ex to take the kids yet I still feel like I was not treated fairly. I do not think he should have been awarded sole custody when I did absolutely nothing to jeprodize my childen or their welfare in any way.
I want to press charges against his attorney and the judge who presided over our case but have absolutely no idea even where to begin this process? Or weather I even have a ligitament case?

Prove that he either forged, or caused your name to be forged on the document and you MAY have something against the attorney. However, you have absolutely NO case against the judge. He didn't do anything to you. All he did was follow the law.

It's not at all unusual to be named "noncustodial parent" after leaving the child/ren with the other parent (custodial) for months/years. In fact, it's quite common.

Especially when the custodial parent

lost everything I owned. (house, car, etc.)

Ok.. not an accurate quote, but I fixed the spelling mistake
