Re: how can i get my children if im not divorced
You should make application for the services
of a legal aid attorney in the county in which you reside.
This attorney will be able to advise you about how to initiate a court action under the Uniform Custody Child Jurisdiction Act(UCCJA)in order to
establish you as the legal custodian legally entitled to the return of these three boys who have been absent from your household for three long years.
