I don't have money for a lawyer. I'm tired and weak and can't do this anymore. It's taken everything out of me. I'm just stunned and in disbelief. 2 weeks ago we were in Hawaii and totally in love. I don't think I can do this anymore.
You're on an emotional rollercoaster. Take a step back and breathe. But, you may need to face the possibility that the marriage may be over. The WTS may have won. She left you for Jehovah (the organization)...
You've been taking the high road but now you have to play some hardball. No leaving the state with your children. No removal of property from the home. Consult the lawyer. Know your rights, be prepared for a fight. But at the same time always leave the door open for mediation and counseling. Keep offering the prospect of marriage counseling...and make sure your lawyer and the court knows this. Be the responsible, logical and sane person. Don't lose your temper. Don't say anything that can be used against you in court. Let her irrational behavior stand out if it should get to court. To a court, the behavior of leaving you and taking the children all because you don't want to go to church anymore should not be grounds enough for divorce. Play it right and you could get joint custody if not primary custody. No alimony. Child support only.
That's looking at it from the worst case scenerio. It may not play out that bad, but you have to be prepared for it. If she's already planning on leaving state, you have to be ready for a fight. Don't wallow in self misery and pity and don't let affection of the past keep you from protecting your interests...your kids.

Just do what you can, Dan. If you can save your marriage, that's good.
You CAN protect your children and your legal rights as a parent. You can and must. I know that you will.

Just listen to us here. DON'T ROLL OVER! Protect yourself and don't be a doormat. If you let the wife abscond with the kids, it could be the worst thing in the world for them. The woman is out of control! Put the brakes on and put your foot down! We love you man. Take care of yourself.

Contact your local legal aid and family court now!!
Has the mother of your children just told you that she is planning on moving away to another County, State or Country?
Have you just found out that your ex has already moved away with your children without telling you?
Have you received court papers notifying you of a hearing in which your ex is asking the court for permission to move-away?
Has your ex told you that if you don’t give her more support money or do something else she is requesting that she will take the kids and you will never see them again?
Has your Ex moved away by agreement but is now disobeying your previous court ordered agreement by not allowing the kids to visit you in your state?
Are you aware of new laws that can help you fight a move-away case?
Most states have laws requiring the moving parent to notify the non-moving parent within 30 to 45 days prior to moving. Once you have been notified you must file a court action to restrain her from leaving. If you don’t you may lose your right to see your children again in your home County or State. The court is very concerned about the timeliness in which you file to have the moving party restrained. The biggest mistake that most men make is that they don’t do anything at all!
