    First, where are you?

    Second - who is charging you $450 to testify? The Court-ordered counsellor?

    Ask the Court for assistance for the expert fees and legal representation. File the documents and see if you qualify. The Court Clerk should be able to help you.

    If the court says they have to go back... they have to go back.

    Like it or not.. good or bad... they will have the force of law backing them up if you don't send her back. And going to jail to make a point won't do your kids any good.

    In the mean time try some of the things JudyKayTee mentioned. It might be a difficult situation... but its not impossible yet.
