A temporary restraining order was filed against me. There was no domestic violence — this is being used as a custody tactic during our divorce. My hearing is in 4 days. I do not have an attorney. I cannot currently see my son. If the order is granted, I lose custody, must vacate my home, and the temporary order becomes the status quo for months.

I owe $1,800 on my attorney retainer, due by Friday. I have already paid $8,200 of the $10,000 over the past 4 months. My attorney filed a motion to withdraw. Trial is in 3 weeks — I cannot find a new attorney in time. I am so close to the finish line. $450 is all I need to keep my attorney through trial.

Supervised visits cost $125 per week. The center requires payment before each session. It has been 21 days since I last saw my son. Every missed visit is documented and used against me. My review hearing is in 45 days. Consistent attendance is the #1 factor for moving to unsupervised visitation.

It has been 74 days since I have seen my children (ages 10 and 13). They refuse to come to scheduled parenting time and repeat phrases that are clearly not their own words. I have a 50/50 custody order that has been in place for 3 years. I have filed motions but need a custody evaluator ($5,000) to document what is happening. Every day that passes makes reunification harder. My kids need their dad.

I was served with a divorce petition on February 13, 2026 that includes a request for full custody of my two daughters (ages 5 and 8). My response deadline is February 23, 2026. I do not have an attorney. I coach their soccer team and take them to school every morning. I need an attorney immediately — I cannot lose my kids without being heard.
