Getting My Child Home

My Ex-boyfriend and I split up after he assaulted me at my last job.No I didn't press charges.Which caused me to loose my job. He picked up our daughter and because he does not like my friend how has no criminal background he got a restraining order againt me. He can not prove me as a bad parent but, I am still scared to death that I will loose her because of his alligations of him being scared for her safety. I have no criminal back ground and have done nothing wrong to my child and never would.He is a felon I have many witnesses of what he has done to me. But I am lost and I am broke after loosing my job due to him.

I am scared to death of loosing her please help me,I do not know what I should do or even look for to help my case.

Do you have any advise you could give to me?

Re: Getting My Child Home

If you have no money to hire an attorney, you can email or call the State Bar of Texas in Austin for pro bono legal services in your area.

There is also Lone Star Legal. They have offices throughout Texas. Their services are free.

You can also check into women's shelters for referral to possible attorneys.

There is the Austin Women's Advocacy Program - I don't know their phone number - that might be able to assist you.

Good luck!
