You need to make an appointment to meet with an attorney in the county where the guardianship matter is being heard. An attorney needs to review all the documentation related to the guardianship in order to give you an opinion as to what your options are and what you need.

You might also check with the local Bar Association to see if they have a free program you could use. Never lose hope- you will get your kids back if you do what the judge tells you is necessary to regain custody.
