Modification Pro-Se


What is the name of your state? Nebraska

In Nov. 2001, a Ex-Parte Order was issued giving my ex-wife custody of our children. One week later at a hearing she was granted temporary custody. My attorney was fired after I discovered he lied to me. I have been Pro-Se as I can not afford an attoney. Allegations made against me are not true, no charges of any kind. There is no evidence to claims made in the Complaint of Nov. 2001. The change in circumstances that dictate custody be modified is non-existent. What can I do Pro-Se to get my children back? What steps are necessary to force their side to substantiate the allegations. Is a summary judgement in order? Is a motion to dismiss in order? The entire ordeal was facilitated by my son who, after being angered over a disciplinary action I imposed, fabricated a story to the police. Subsequently, no evidence to support his claim was found after an investigation and charges were never filed.
Thanks for any consideration given to my question.

Go to [url]http://divorcenet.com[/url] and look under father's issues (use netscape, explorer doesn't work). I am a strong advocate for pro se litigants but I would not touch a custody case without a lawyer. Take out a loan, check all the father's rights websites, check your jurisdiction for a lawyer referral program based on income, call the courthouse library and ask them if they know of any sources you can use to help you find an attorney. or call Legal Aid for a referral. If you try this yourself you could screw yourself forever. Good luck!

A few more good websites:

[url]www.deltabravo.net[/url]

They have a "fathers issues" board and a lot of state-by-state reference material.

Also:

[url]www.dads4kids.com[/url]
They have reference material that may help.
