On March 26, 2008 I lost my heart and soul when I lost custody of my son to his father.
I only lost because I had no lawyer and the system here is so bias. I moved to Texas from a very small corrupt town in Louisiana. I moved so that my kids would grow up with the best chance at having a good education and life. My son's father wasn?t happy with the choice I had made but at that time he had no legal rights to him. I offered to discuss visitations he said no he would just take him if I left. I didn?t worry I thought they could never do that I'm a great mom who takes care of her kids and always does without to make sure they have the best I can offer. So I moved anyway. I was there about 4 months when I received papers saying he took his self to court for court ordered child support he was ordered to only pay $150 a month. At that point I contacted him to ask what was going on he said he wanted to set up visits where he had Chris for a month and I had him a month I said no that was to much moving for him he was in preschool and it would upset his life. Then I went into early labor with my youngest son who was born 2 months early. I sent Chris to Louisiana with my mom while I was in the hospital. His dad knew he was there and didn?t ask to see him for 3 weeks then only kept him 3 days. My mom brought Chris home when I got out of the hospital. Shortly after I got papers saying he was taking me to court for sole custody. I contacted the court explained my youngest son was still in the NICU and got court put off till Jan. 2008. Which I couldn?t afford a lawyer and really didn?t think I even needed one I was stupid and thought they only took kids from bad mothers who were found unfit. I showed up to court in Jan and he didn?t. So I thought he dropped it finally. and went on with my life then on march 11 I was visiting my mom and a sheriff car pulled up and served me papers saying I had to be in court march 26 and I couldn?t leave the state with Chris. This gave me no time. That day they took my baby from me. I'm not going back to Texas without him I lost my job and everything because of this. I want my baby back. I want to tuck him in bed. They won?t even let me see him. I only get to call for 5 min a night. (more)

THanks to everyone. The support helps if nothing more than emotionally. and if i dont win ill just keep trying till i can get my baby back.
I'm there with you. my son went to visit my half sister in alaska for a brief vacation, anow she has custody of him because I'm not working I'm on my externship! Good luck!
my heart is broken for you. i live in texas also, i know that texas fights for their mothers and that wouldn't have ever happened. i have a friend in louisiana who had a job was a good mother and lost her two kids to her ex who had no job and lived with his mother there in louisiana. i hate that state it's like a third world country. good luck hon! i wish you the best and leave you with prayers.

I actually thanks to a secert person.. talked to a lawyer that will work out payments with me but due to the fact i lost my job because of being stuck in louisiana its still out of reach for the time being. i need $500 down so that he can file to atleast get me shared custody for now which will atleast let me see my baby more than just everyother weekend. its killing me going from having him in my life everyday to being told i can only call for 5 min a night and only see him everyother weekend. shared custody will atleast let me have him more often so that i can make sure they arent hurting him emotionally or in anyother way and so my baby doesnt think i just abandoned him. and His brothers can see him they are so confused on why he isnt here anymore.
