Help bring my kids back home

Hi my name is Anita and today I break my silence on my story. From 2007 until 2017 I was in an abusive relationship mentally, physically, and emotionally. From the outside looking in you could not tell and because I never reported it, it was like it never happened but the ones close to me witnessed it. I finally got the courage to leave after having 2 kids and Bruises and a concussion and going back to school to better myself and my kids futures. Once I finished school I left him I knew it would be a struggle financially but I finally got the courage to leave after having multiple Bruises and a concussion and to him almost taking my life I knew it was enough . He made it so that I would depend on him financially and once he saw that I didn’t need him anymore he tried to break me down by using my kids because he knew they were my weakness. I thought I was free from the abuse but he became more controlling and manipulative. I have been fighting this struggle since I left him in 2017/2018. We have been in court multiple times and because he has money things always work in his favor I’m asking for help with legal fee’s I can not afford an attorney and I need the best to fight him in court he keeps trying to take my children away from me to hurt me and he is using them for financial gain because I pay him child support he took the kids once and didn’t want to give them back to me and moved without giving me any information. He was able to do this because there was no court order at that time so we had equal rights and I didn’t expect him to do any of it he Switched the kids schools and doctors and tried to cut me out as if I was an unfit mother. It’s been a constant battle since I left him. I have filed numerous papers trying to figure it all out. It has been a struggle because I do not have any legal help the clerks office doesn’t help with legal advice and I can not afford an attorney. I’ve tried to get a free consultation but the information is limited. On 8/7 He filed an exparte and lied on the paperwork and the judge signed it without even hearing my side of the story and my kids were outside playing with friends while I was inside cooking dinner. I get a knock at the door and it’s the police telling me their father has the kids in his car and is taking them and I have to cooperate with what the paperwork says until we have court on 8/17/22. He has tried multiple times to come take the kids away from me. But has failed. Every day he sends the police to my house and A couple times tried to keep my son after his football practice. He manipulates my son. But tonight my kids were given to their father based off the paperwork he filed and lies he wrote. He waited outside my house until the kids were outside playing and took them from me and handed the paperwork to the police so that I could not interfere. My daughter cries every time she goes back to her fathers house because she gets mistreated by his girlfriend. My daughter is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet and I just want my kids back home and happy.
