Someone please tell me what to do. In feb. of 99 my husband left me. I came home from school to find all my stuff gone,and my son. He filed for divorce, and I set a court date to fight for custody of my son. The court date was missed, and never finalized. My husband since leaving me, has moved 7 times in the last 18 months.Living with family members, and being evicted from apartments due to his l&i being denied. Hes lived in a travel trailer , and now in a two bedroom cabin, with no plumbing, and seven people. I do not no how to drive, and never get to see my son because they now live a hour and a half from me. He is completly un willing to compromise and bring him to see me. I miss him terribley, and so do my other two children. I haven had him for a weekend, since december. If I take my son for a weekend, am I within my rights to refuse to return him, since custody is not orderd? I know this is drastic,but I dont know what to do. I have always been the one more willing to compromise, and if my son is in my care, I will do whats best for him. My husband gets to focused on his battles, and does whats best for himself not for the kids. I dont even no where to start!! Please help me! I cant afford a attorney, I am a fulltime college student and part time worker. I am broke! , but I have a nice stable home for my son. Sorry about the spelling and mess,,,,im very upset right now and doing this on a spur of the moment situation ( this mess. I mean not the custody issue)
