You will probably need to hire a local attorney to appear in court for you and TRY to sort it out. A judge is going to have to make a ruling and order after seeing the case and facts. Provide everything you can to the local attorney. Maybe someone here will offer, but you can contact by phone the local Lawyer Referral Service in that county for names to call, or use one of the on line services to get a name.
