Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

child custody

my husband died and we have 4 small children. i fell apart and signed temporary custody to my parents. during this time they stole money out of a trust that i am sole beneficiary of. now they will not return children to me unless i release them from liability. they also sued me for my husbands life insurance and refused to pursue any business partnerships my husband held. i had to sue my father to retain control of the estate. now i have him in court for an emergency relief hearing to get access to funds in my trust. bottom line i have had no money to get my children back. my father is very wealthy. i have been able to retain counsel on a contingency basis for the other matters but i cant do this for custody. i was a stay at home mom and a very good one. i see my children every day at school and take them on the weekends. now my father has taken the children to cape cod for the summer,his summer house. the children receive fifty thousand a year in social security which my father puts in trust for them and takes money from my trust in excess of two hundred and fifty thousand a year. since he is trustee he refuses to give me any money from my trust and i cant get any social security till i have custody. my children cry all the time
