My ex husband got custody of our son and gave him to his parents! What can I do?
My ex husband got full legal and physical and legal custody. He won because I am dirt poor and his family is extremely rich and they went after me with many lawyers. After winning, my ex handed over our son to his parents. Now I cannot visit him. I get phone calls but that is it. I am now in a position financially to change things, but I am not sure how to go about it. I live in Oregon, My Ex and where the divorce happened is in northern California, and my son was taken to southern California to live with his grandma. My ex and the grandparents said yesterday that I cannot see my son this summer at all.
I am a good person, never did drugs, and hold a job, and a beautiful house. My son is not in the best situation right now and it hurts me badly.
Please help!!!

You need an good lawyer. Now he may have legal custody of your son but that does not mean you cannot have access to your son. It is your right to spend time with your son. You should have an access schedule drafted up with a regular visiting schedule. If you do not have this then you need to get one.
Now what you should do is email you ex-husband and ask for visitation. If he refuses you make an note. I say email because it is admissable in court and can be used. Start an log or journal od the access you get . If you call your son note that down. The main thing you want to show the courts is that your ex-husband is being very difficult. The unfortunate thing here is that you don't live in the same state, which makes your life more difficult. I would consider moving closer to your son so that you can have the opportunity to spend more time with him.
You need to consult a lawyer because you have rights and your ex-husband cannot stop your son from seeing you.

This is not legal advice, so don't rely on it. It's general information only:
There are clinics who will represent you pro bono. You should consider that or finding a lawyer. If your ex has relinquished custody, then you should ask for custody, but at a minimum parenting time. I am not licensed to practice in Oregon or California, so consult an attorney in the jurisdiction where the last court order was issued.
Good luck!

Go talk to a lawyer! You are his mother and you have every right to see your son! The only way I would agree with you not seeing him is if you physically harm him. But it sounds like your ex did that because he knew it would get under your skin. The only thing you can do is get a GOOD lawyer and fight back the right way.

If the Court stated you are to have visitation, then your ex is in contempt of court for not allowing your to see your son. And who is he harming? Your son!
It doesn't matter if you can't afford a lot and are poor, you're still his mom and im sure your son loves you. He needs two parents.

I suggest you speak with an attorney to find out what your options are. Be prepared because you may be in for a long haul on this one.
