a void in my life
This is a long story so ill keep it shor as posible.I am a father of a 13 year old daughter who I haven't seen since she was 3years old .not by my choice but by my ex my daughters mother .she always manages to get a restraining order on me because she's afraid that I would take off with my daughter and never come back .witch I would never do .but she's dong it to me so to speaak and there is nothing I can do.I don't have $20.000 up front to retain a lawer .I even work 2 jobs and stil don't have that kind of money .but you see I don't even know my daughter I was deprived of her for 10 years . Do think about her all the tme but that doesn't bring her to me .someone told me about fathers for equal rights .what a joke .so what do I do .anything????

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
i wish i could be more of a help.. but i'm not really experienced when it comes to lawyers and getting custody etc.
my only advice is to really talk to your daughters mom. set aside a time (more than 20 minutes) and actually talk it through. it seems to me like she made the decision on her own and didnt consider your thoughts. ask her if you 2 can talk about it and resolve it. tell her you need to say something and want to work it out. ask her what happened? and why did she decide to make the decision? (i know you told us the reason but ask her, just in case she changes her mind) basically, just have a long talk with her about it and vent to her about your feelings. every father/mother deserves to spend time with their children. even if it is partial custody. it's better than nothing...
if that still doesnt work, i dont really know what to say. i'm not sure if you are allowed to do this, but try going to a law firm and asking for help. yes it does cost money, but perhaps if you ask someone who works there for a loan or pay back in installments. maybe ask if you can get an assistant to help rather than a professional lawyer. by assistant i mean, a law grad student or someone who is practicing law but not yet a professional. if this still doesnt work, try going to your bank or any bank and asking for a loan of money. tell them its for a worthy cause, to get custody of your child whom you havent seen for 10 years. maybe they will be nice enough to loan you the money. try selling things you have that dont have much important? like a gold watch or something? i'm not really sure but its worth a shot..
good luck :)
