I already answered this. Be careful not to post the same thing more than one time, as that delays everyone else’s answer. Thanks

Here’s my situation, I have been separated a year and a month. Last month I had a protective order and a temp. custody order expire. We are currently discussing a divorce and custody of the children pending his release from prison on June 22nd. Since there’s nothing on file concerning custody and he picks up the kids and refuses to bring them back what can I do legally considering that I have had temp. custody for the past year and he has spent time in prison on posession. Keep in mind that I have no money for a lawyer at this time. Can I do anything on my own?
