I am still trying to cope with the separation and alienation of my children by my wife.

It's been 70 days and  I've only seen my children once for about 15 minutes. I became adventurious & went to church. Guess what? They were there. The members were goosed and thought I wanted to harm my wife but they were fooled. I was civil as always, sitting in the back, and only wanted to see my children. At the end of serivce I got a chance to see them. I felt like a million dollars receiving my children hugs & kisses.

I plan to go back and give my babies some cards, photos, & goodies. I don't want then to forget Daddy.

If someone knows a Father's Rights group or organization in Charlotte, NC or Rock Hill, SC area, please email ASAP. I need a support group,  find an attorney, and talk with a PI. I will respond to your reply.

Can someone direct me what to do with per se "semen tainted wife's underwear?"

Thanks.

Map96 - "Feeling good but not there yet"

I am a father married for 13 years with 2 children (9 & 6).  In years past, we (wife & I) have enjoyed good times together & some times not so good.

Sorry, this is painful.

Last year 3-2005, (Thursday) we got into a argument over the children going to the park in the neighborhood to ride their bikes. We couldn't agree. SW wanted then to go but I said they should stay (we have a large yard to ride in). I felt uneasy, that my wife was up to something.  SW thinks the children belong to her. I am the bread winner and I love my children also, making the best of our time together. Saturday, SW left w/children and was gone for 2 months w/o calling or informing me of whereabouts. Third month she shoes up. Pastor & some church members knew where she was, in local women's shelter.

We went to pastoral counseling & informal professional counseling. SW returned home w/children in 10-2005. Quit her job after 1 week of work as a excuse for homeschooling children. Things seemed to be going well but SW wasn't really interested in children or homeschooling but more interested in attending Community College in evenings for cert of CNA. I supported her. She has been a housewife for 12 years.

I often asked wife to have staff meetings at home to work on marriage during the week or weekends to improve marriage & set boundaries but SW was not really interested. Something changed. We were having financial difficulty. I work as Bible Instructor (paid) and later I was drawing unemployment.

The first week in August 2006, SW car was broken for 2 weeks. We was in a financial straight. I asked her to call a relative to borrow money but she replyed I was the husband & it was my job to see to the car getting fixed. On Saturday she asked the church to help fix her car (unknown to me) & bragged about how she was getting something done on Sunday. Monday, car towed to shop. Fixed on Wednesday morning 8-9-06. Picked car up from shop that afternoon & drove to church that evening. Elder spoke on a subject in a controversy way. Comments made at service resurfaced isses between us. (Subject - Unconfidentiality between spouse creates distrust).

After service SW took a long time exiting the church while my son & I waited in car w/engine running (10 - 15 minutes). After SW got in car & backing out, we left though she was visible. My son & I arrived home & changed for bed. SW & daughter arrived home. SW came in arguing & mad because we didn't wait. Talked about getting gas and "what if the car broke?" Tried to explain but she wasn't listening. Argued & fussed until we both were arguing, face to face. We both pushed each other & she dailed 911. 2 Police came (male & female). Both told our stories. SW played DV ticket. There were no bruises or marks on neither of us.  No one went to jail (daughter terrified). Police ask either of us to leave. Wife volunteered & took our 2 children w/her.  This is the 6th time my wife has left home over the past 7 years with the children. [Unstable and inconsistant with children].

On 8-14-06 (our anniversary) I was served a Order of Protection at home. Court date 8-17-06. Went to court & judge dismissed order w/o prejudice. Thank God! SW allegations was false.

The pastor & others called me to give SW access to home (locks changed) to pick up some clothes 8-28-06. I refused. Told Pastor (after 3 attempts) to have wife to call insteado of him.  She called. I told her we need to talk & she refused only said she needed colthes & things. SW said she would break in. I told her I would have her arrested (because SW was playing dirty). SW returned on 8-29-06 with police escort (which SW should have done anyway) and I allowed access to get clothes.

I have not seen my children in 51 days. My heart is breaking. I love my children. Don't know where they are.

Don't have the money to afford a lawyer. I recently got a job. I live in the home and am maintaining the bills alone (as usual).

Pastor & church members is working with wife to keep them in hiding. SW thinks the children belong to her. (I believe she is trying to hurt me by alienating the children from me. I am having a hard time dealing with this). She attends church & some of the members believe I am an abuser based on her story. All lies.

Sorry, I wrote much.

I live in Lancaster, SC (40 miles outside of Charlotte, NC) and I can't afford a good lawyer. I make $10 hr.

All this is new to me.

Does anyone know a father's rights group in this area?
Can someone direct me where to begin?
How do I serve my wife without an address or phone number? How do I get a friend to serve her at church?
Can I file custody & visitation papers at the Family Court Bldg myself and then seek a lawyer afterwards?
Where do I get the forms and are they free? Can I download them?
 
I don't have a custody or visitation order presently.
I have been reading every thing possible on the internet. I feel like I am alone and this is consumimg me every day all the time.
Please help me!

I was thinking how much I missed my children (10-18-06) and I stopped into Walmart to buy them so gifts. I planned to give them the gifts the next time I see them. I purchased a video tape and recorded some family footage of me (Daddy) interacting with my children.  Finished the goody-bag. Son's bag blue and my daughter's bag pink.

Driven by a desire to see my children, I ventured to church again and to my suprise they were there. (did I mention that they ride to church with another family to try to keep their whereabouts hidden). I waited after church and handed them the goody bags. My children was so elated and I was overjoyed. (Then they left for home). I've got to do something to see my children!
 
Also, I was surfing the internet and came across a infidelity sight called "Evergreen Industries". I purchased the 2 test and tested the 2 underwear garments and the test was positive for semen. My wife is having an affair. This was devastating to me. I was numb but I got through it. These were the 2 garments I confronted her about in May 2006 of which she denied. I was in denial and believed it. Now I need to send the garment to the lab for DNA testing. Eventhough this evidence will not be allowed in court per a doctor's advice, I am sure it happened. I was told that the only thing court allows is pictures, video, and audio tapes.  I don't think I can afford a PI.  

Somewhat confused about what to do. My wife is having unprotected
sex. I don't want VD or AIDS.

If someone have advice please send me a email.  I want to see my children.

Thanks

Sorry, this is my first marriage.

I went down to the family court and ask the registrar about filing a petition for custody/visitation and she told me that a lawyer has to process it.

At the moment, I have a folder that I am compiling with all the necessary papers - receipts, bank statements, checks, notes, birth certificates, bills, phone numbers, and  etc.  I am trying to put a timeline together to decrease the hours for the lawyer.

This Thursday I am suppose to talk with a lawyer thru the referral service who charges only $50 for consultation to the low income.
I am afraid he is going to ask a larger amount to represent me - of which I don't have. In SC, it is difficult to find good low income representation. However, I am persistantly looking. Does anyone have a recommendation.

Last night I searched on the internet for a father's rights groups in the Charlotte, NC area and could not find one.

Maybe there is a father's rights group that can refer me to a lawyer that does Pro-Bono work.

Is Legal Aid ok to use? I don't want to lose my children. I want partial physical custody and joint legal custody.

I am still in the home. Will the judge make me move out and she return?
and order me to pay a large amount of child support?

Thanks Map96
