What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
Hello, my name is Melvin. I have been married for almost 5 years (13 November) and separated for over 2 years now. Have 2 kids, ages 4 and 2. We pretty much had a good relationship as far as with the kids, until recently. We had an argument in which even her mother tried to get into it. This was just last week. I usually go see my kids every other day, but haven't been able to see them since 1 July 05 (Today is 5 July). She has been avoiding my calls, voicemails, emails. I have been to her house, unluckily she has not been there, but I even left a note on her door. I have not heard from her since then. Since we have been separated I have always been responsible, as far as seein my kids and spending time with them and also by giving her money for the spending of my kids, I even pay the rent for her aparment aside from the money I provide for the kids. Apparently, she is tryin to hide the kids from me. I have even said in all my messages, "that it's not our kids fault of what has been happening between us and that I need them and well as they need me. I have always been a very responsible father with them.
I guess my question is if this is legal for her to do? Trying to avoid me just because we have problems and apparently hiding my kids from me?
I would really appreciate if I could get legal advice and I am going really desperate. Thank you for your time and consideration.
****UPDATE**** I just got an email from her saying that if I want to see my kids to call her lawyer. Any advice?
