What is the name of your state? California
I was divorced from my ex-wife in 2000, when my sons were 9, 8, and 6 years old. I was unemployed at the time and due to the uncertainty of the job market here, in good faith I allowed her to move out of state (cross country), after my attorney said I could not win a moveaway. My Marital Settlement Agreement was poorly written, and letting her move out of state was a huge mistake.
After a year or so of there never being a good time to visit, I filed a Modification of Custody and Visitation to change custody. My ex was an alcoholic and knew this would come up in court. As my case proceeds and things aren't going my ex's way, all of a sudden there are trumped up charges in the state she was in (NY) of me sexually abusing my children, in order to prevent me from asserting my rights.
I actually wound up being criminally investigated here and agreed to a polygraph, which of course I passed with flying colors. Regardless, I got railroaded and the NY judge issued a permanent restraining order, preventing me from having ANY contact with them. Even convicted murderers aren't treated that way.
My ex played the system for all it was worth and won the lottery, getting her wish at the expense of my children's emotional health. She now longer lives in NY, and is now in AL.
To say that this has been a grave miscarriage of justice would be the understatement of the century. My kids' lives have been forever altered by this horrible event and my ex is laughing about it. Obviously, it's not fair.
Are there any options I can pursue to get this fixed? At this point, I don't see anything that I could possibly do that wouldn't cost a fortune.
