Hi, my name is Shannon Clifton. I have 5 beautiful children 10, 8, 6, 3, and 1. I am going through a divorce yeah . My wife of 11 years decided she no longer wanted to be a member so she left the church and me for a new guy. My children believe in the gospel and are sad because mommy downs the church and of course downs daddy as well. I believe that losing my wife was bad enough but the thought of losing my children is unbearable. IO lost my job due to having to go into a psychiatric hospital and I have been looking stead fast ever since I got out. My problem is I need a lawyer and I don't have the money to do so. I was hoping I could find a LDS lawyer who knew about child custody laws. I don't want to hurt my wife but I don't want my children unhappy either. I love my babies dearly and she knows this so she wants to use that to get to me. I would gladly pay her child support even if i had thew kids I just want them and they want me but what can I do? Does any of the church members know any lawyers who could at least give me advice? I live in missouri, I know my wife and her new man will gladly take my kids from me just to see me hurt. She is bipolar and manic so this is what she does. I just want to be with my kids. Thanks
