Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

custody

after 13 years of raising a child as a single parent, the non-custodial parent has gone into court and gotten temporary custody of the 13 year old child. The non-custodial parent lied to the court by stating that he had given me notice of the hearring, which he never did. i was not present at any of the hearrings here recently and as a result he was given temporary custody, which will be permenant on october 14, 2007. He also put a restraing order up against me keeping me from having any contact with my child, however I have not seen him in over 5 years and when I spoke with him he was the one who initiated contact. Also at age 11 years the child was heard in a child support case by an administrative judge, she informed the judge that she did not wish to have contact with the non-custodial parent due to emotional trauma.What do I do to get this matter turned around so my child can be returned to me?
