We have three small children age six and under that are living with him and have been for the past 3 months the 7 months prior to that they were living with just me. Unfortunately I can not bring my children to live with me where I am staying right now so I had planned on giving my husband physical custody of the boys as long as I can have visitations. The problem is I can not afford to get to texas for the court date and I also fear for my safety if I did somehow manage to get the money for the trip. I would like to handle this situation via a conference call or some other acceptable manner where I woulfree legal advice divorce texasd not have to leave the state I am currently residing in. The first court clerk I spoke with had said it would be no problem I just had to ask permission from the judge but now that I have called back to finalize everything and ask that of the judge this new clerk tells me there is no such thing and there is no possible way for me to speak with the judge. I am at a loss as to what I should do next. I can not afford an attorney and would not know if I should have a south carolina attorney or one from texas to represent me. Please I do not want to lose the ability to see my children and I am so afraid that is what will happen if I can't show up or handle this some other way and showing up physically is not a viable option.

I am a Texas Uncontested Divorce Lawyer (my website is below) I represent individuals in uncontested divorce matters for a flat fee of $875.
An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree to: child custody, child support, and property division.
It sounds like you and your husband may be able to reach an agreement.
Bottom Line: You need an attorney to represent you, this is a very important matter. If you cannot afford an attorney try contacting the legal aide office the serves the area in which the Texas court is located.
Good Luck!
Contact the clerk of the court and request an adjournment until you can obtain legal counsel.
Just tell them that.
