I lived in Montana, and moved to SC with my fiance'. I left my children in the care of a family I thought I could trust, so I could make arrangements for the kids here in SC. I was away from my kids for 3 weeks, called them and emailed them all the time. The day before I left to go to MT to get the kids, I found out my ex (who has never put forth an effort on the children's behalf; never paid the ordered child support, only visited them when he felt like it) had taken the kids and nobody bothered to tell me. Then when I got to MT, he had filed custody papers. I consulted a lawyer, who agreed to help me if I gave him $1000 to start out. Well, the date is drawing VERY near to have my responses into the judge (or whoever they go to). I haven't been able to get the money for the lawyer (and he won't do anything without it), and I don't know what else I can do, but the summons said I had to respond by the 24th of Sept. Please help me quickly, if you can. I have no idea what to do, but I want my kids back. They have lived with me their whole lives, and now all the sudden since he filed the paperwork first, the court is on HIS side? Mr Deadbeat Dad of the Year? Unbelieveable.
