can't afford an attorney
Yes what I said was correct. My kids got out of the house 2 times but I put a chain lock on them and they still got out. I have heard this is a very common thing. My kids have different fathers, I'm married to my sons father and not to my daughter. My daughter is the oldest at 5 1/2 and my son is 4. My daughter also in feb put her finger in the paper shredder I had and a little bit of her finger is missing but everyone I ask say they have paper shredders at home as well and they would have never thought something like that could happen. I was up though cuz it was 6 p.m. when it happened, and I was watching them but I guess not well enough. Now that I have gone to 6 of the parenting classes I learned a lot about discipline, stress management, values and a few other things. I have been told by many people, that the judge I was in front of is unreasonable, even by legal aid. I do still have my son as I said before but not my daughter and it just doesnt make sense that the judge would order this when children services closed my case and didnt order protective services. I wasn't ordered by the court or children services to take parenting courses or counseling but I am doing it on my own free will. I did call the police once and told them that my daughters father was dropping our daughter off on his own free will against the restraining order that HE wanted and they came out and just told me to keep a log book cuz it looks stupid on his behalf and looks good on me. They didnt take me away and also told me it was good to call them just in case he tried to call the police on me. I cannot afford an attorney right now, I tried legal aid and they said I was eligible for their services but they couldnt take my case. I lost my job that I was at for 2 years and do not have one but am collecting unemployment. I can't even get a job right now cuz of having to go to court all the time. The judge even ordered me to pay $539 in child support a month even though I lost my job and told her that but she didnt even care! I just dont know what to do anymore, all I know is that my daughter is unhappy and what the judge has done, has greatly effected my daughter, son and myself. So do u know of any other way of getting help?
