Your question does not tell us all of the information we wouldneed to know in order to provide much guidance. Were your married to the children's father at the times that they were born? Is there a Court Order dealing with custody? If so, then you will need to file a Motion to Modify that Judgment. If not, you may need to file a suit in order to obtain a Judgment. This is definitely something which should be handled by an attorney. After the attorney interviews you and obtains all of the relevant facts, the attorney should be able to give you good advice on your options and your chancves of success. If you d o not already have an attorney, I might be able to help you myself. Please feel free to call me for a telephone consultation.
