Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

I decided to bring my ex-husband back to court in 2009 for physical custody of my son. My case has been continued about 6 or 7 times. Each time the case has been continued, it has been in favor of my ex-husband except for one that I requested because my father died. I have purchased plane tickets after plane ticket, one time I went to Alabama just to find out that my case was continued the day of court. I live in San Diego California. The judge also granted an contiouance for my ex-husband to go to work. I was supposed to have a custody hearing June 13th, and now the judge have continued my case because he has a conflict. I am about to loose my job because of the constant changing of the dates. All of the continuances are convient to my ex-husband and an inconvience to me. What am I supposed to do? I was told by the Alabama State Attorney Generals Office to file a judicial inquiry but I am afraid that the judge will make my case more difficult. I have not seen the judge or had a hearing since I opened this case in 2009.

I'm afraid you need to get a lawyer. Let me guess, he is represented by an attorney and you are not. What county, Mobile? Feel free to call or e-mail me on this. You need some help here, if not from me, from someone. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, you'll need to get some free legal help from one of the volunteer agencies who helps in these cases.
