Request for Prayers or Secular Alternative

[blather]

The father of my children has now filed for custody of BOTH children.  I was suicidal over the loss of my best friend and turning custody of my teenage son over to his father.  I reconciled myself to giving the father custody of our son, since our son has become abusive physically and verbally towards me and his sister over the last 6 months.   Today, their father has changed his mind. According to him, I am so vile and evil and unfit, that I should have no contact with either child.  The mediator today suggested another (the third!) evaluation since the father is demanding it.  I've proven myslef twice to be fit.  The family court system is beyond corrupt.  I cannot afford an attorney.  Evaluations cost at least $15K.  I don't have the funds nor do I want to drag the children through this horrible process again.  

You don't know me from Adam and perhaps I truly am evil.  If any of you have faith in me and are willing to do so, I woud appreciate a good word to The Lord on my behalf or just kind thoughts or good karma sent my direction, to get me through Family Court tomorrow.

I'm sorry if this request is inappropriate or is selfish.  

Thanks,

I might be responding by typing with a pitchfork and a tail .... don't you have legal aid or a public defender.  Whatever you decide to do I will respect and I will pray for you, in my own way - but if it was me I'd fight and fight until I got custody of my children or at least joint custody.  Men (yes, I'm sexist) always have the money when they separate or divorce.  You're not alone in this; I've read other posts like yours.

Hope you are able to get some kind of legal help.
