Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

civil procedure,an due process for custody of my children

In 1995 their was a Judicial order giving me sole legal custody of my two children. Child Support was also entered into the Judgement. In 2000 the father to whom this order is against filed a Custody Hearing, he and his attorney hid from the courts the original Sole Legal Custody Judgement given to me in 1995. He never served me a date for a custody hearing and because of this I was not able to attend the Trial date. Due Procees was totaly violated maliciously to keep the children and I out of the Court. Because of this all his demands were awarded. I was never allowed to be heard violating my constitutional rights. I lost custody of my daughter I raised by myself for 11 years. I hired 2 different attorney's to get this into court through the 3 years this has been going on. All they did for me was take about 4,000 dollars and never a thing. I have no more money for attorney's or time. I have been studying the Laws and found a way to get this case back into court by myself. My question is since I had Sole Custody in 1995 why did the courts allow a regular custody hearing instead of a modification hearing, this being the case will the judge reverse the later order judgement of custody entered in 2000. PLEASE HELP ME.

And, since you found out about this, why haven't you retained counsel to assist you. Too many questions and without review of file not able to answer them.
