    Did you read what you signed? What leads you to believe that the paperwork was altered after you signed it?

    What do you mean "switched" did you not go to the divorce hearing, did you not read the custody agreement before you signed it?

    Did you not keep a copy of what you signed to show the court.

    But you check with legal aid in your state for help, Refile for visitation if for some reason you do not have it.

    Are you sure you don't and the husband is just not lying to you.

    What was the switch in the papers that caused you to lose your boys?

    You could try legal aid in your area - if they handle family law matters.

    I don't understand what the Attorney did - can you explain to make this easier?

    Did you discuss at all the papers you were signing since you had a lawyer ?

    Do you have anything from the mediation ?
