Washington state. Not married, no paternal plan.
We've lived together for over 10 years.
We have 2 boys. One 9 whom she raised and one 3 whom I became a stay at home dad to raise. Both are my children and I'm on the birth certificate.
On wed. She says she's going to go and fill some paperwork out at school ( community college ) and take the boys to get them out of the house. She would bring them back after, before she left for work.
She never returned. She turned her phone off and refused to return texts or calls. I hadn't heard from her till tonight.
I tried to follow her after work to find my children. Unfortunately she spotted me, when I confronted her, she called 911 and told them over the phone she had a restraining order signed yesterday.
This is just blowing my mind. She left me high and dry at our house with $2 in my pocket. She emptied the bank account ( her name ). Our rent is due, insurance next week, my car payment next week, etc.
I've not been served any papers. Had no idea she was doing this.
We've had a rocky relationship the last couple months and we just took a trip to Seattle that seemed to be the boiling point.
I've NEVER, ever hit her. Never raised my hand, nothing. It was either we yelled at each other or I walked away.
And to top it off...she's been off of her antidepressants the last week plus. Her family has history of mental issues.
So, apparently in this crappy state, she can just go say whatever and the judge will sign an order without any input from me.
What can I do? I need my kids back! I didn't even get to say goodbye to them!
What can I do to get them back?
