After midnight last night I saw on an Internet Group that a fellow member needed to talk to someone and asked if anyone was available. I had him DM his number, I called, and we spoke for about 90 minutes.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (keeping a vague as possible):
His wife filed for divorce (California), and unexpectedly moved halfway across the country with their young children. She wouldn't let him even talk to the children. She started a Go Fund Me and stated he is abusive, and a drug addict. I am cognizant that all of this could be true, but he says it isn't true and I none of my radar was going off about him. He seems like a caring Dad from his posts prior to this happening.
He went to the courthouse in his own, and filed papers for her to get the kids back to California. The Judge agreed and issued an order. The wife sent the kids to live with her parents in his area. He is still barely able to see his kids.
I have zero experience in custody matters. What options does a father have, when he doesn't have money for an attorney and make the mortgage?
Is there some county office that can provide guidance and possibly assistance? He is a Veteran, is there anything through the VA? Any guidance, advice, or personal experience is appreciated.
In case anyone is wondering, my kids are all adults, so this isn't an "asking for a friend. " thread.
