I am in need of an attorney to represent me in custody court. I’m a father of two babies that have a lot of health issues and there mother has been medically and physically neglectful. She has had them in a bedbug infested house since they were born and refuses to clean up. She hasn’t been giving my son his growth medicine at all , he is the size of an 8 month old but he turns 3 years old in January. On August 24th they were evicted from where they lived and the kids have been with me ever since. Since they have been with me they have been caught up on the 7 immunizations they were behind on, they have been attending an omw pre k program , they have gone to the dentist for the first time ever, and they have not missed a single doctors appointment. We had custody court September 29th , she had an attorney and I represented myself. The judge was bias, dismissive, and not considerate of how much work I’ve put in to get these kids on the right track. The judge ordered her to prove that she doesn’t have bedbugs and once she does the kids go back. She said if the mother continues to be neglectful the kids will go to foster care. I’ve always heard that the courts always side with the mother but this is extreme! I need to hire an attorney and appeal the decision to have another judge take a look at this emergency situation. The lawyer available has a retainer fee of $3000. Me and some of my family members are trying to come up with the money but we need help. Anything helps, keep us in your prayers, thanks.
