Im Missing Out On My Childrens Lives
Hello, I need help ASAP!!!. I am the father of 7 yr old twin boys and a 6 yr old daughter. The mother and I have never really seen eye to eye with our relationship and it ended. I took one of my sons with me to Indiana to see my parents, his grand parents. When I flew back to Missouri, I met the mother and her aunt at the airport in Kansas City.
The mom, Sheila, wanted to hold our son since she hasn't seen him in over a week, which was no problem to me, and I suspected nothing. When the mom told me that she was going to buckle my son into his car seat I agreed and I was going to go and pick up our luggage from baggage claim. When I went outside to meet Sheila and our son, they were nowhere to be found.
I found out that she had this planned all along and told the air port security about it. I had a security officer tell me that they were basically gone. She took off with my kids and left me with NOTHING. My parents had to pay for tickets to fly me back to Chicago because I had nowhere to go. She hurt me so bad and I still have nightmares about it.
This was a little over 5 yrs ago. Two months ago, I started getting child support bills which I was paying. I could not get in touch with her at all and I couldnt see my kids. I fell more into a deep depression and I started falling behind. I had charges filed against me for Non-Support and I wound up being convicted of it and have served different amounts of time in jail and in prison. Thankfully, I was able to finally see my kids about a yr and a half ago, but now, going on almost a month, I lost touch with her.
She didnt even tell my kids that I was their father until about a few months ago!!!!!. Everything was going fine and I was paying the child support and trying to make up for all my wrongs. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!. I have a court order to see the kids but now i live in Indiana, taking care of my parents, which are both sick. Sheila does not abide by the visitation order at all, and the way she has it, I cant bring them back with me to Indiana so the kid's grand parents could visit with them.
I am not suppose to leave Missouri state lines with the kids. I cant hire an attorney because I cant afford one, and I felt that Sheila and I could work this out so I could continue taking care of my parents but it hasnt happened. I am really scared that once again, child support enforcement is going to come after me again and I dont need that. I have called them numerous amounts of times, updating them on my situation but I dont know if they even care.
I just got out of CNA school and now I am trying to find a job. I was working out in Missouri like I was suppose to and paying my support but now I'm struggling and need help with paying the support. I wouldn't mind paying the support if I could see my kids on a regular basis, but I'm not. I feel like my rights have been smashed into pieces. I just want to be a father to my children.
