The phone number is 888-825-5225. Hugh is in Las Vegas. Hi, Hugh. What's up?

43.05 - 64.733 Caller

Hello. Thank you for taking my call. Sure. How can I help? Uh... I'm debating on getting in a situation where I may be going further into debt to pay for attorneys to try to protect my kids further. It's kind of been a big struggle.

66.014 - 68.537 Jade Warshaw

How long has it been going on, and what's the danger now?

70.163 - 113.474 Caller

It's been going on about six years. My ex-wife is a very abusive person. She's psychologically, emotionally, and it's affected all of our kids. The divorce was finalized. About a year ago. Took five years to do a divorce? Yeah. Why? Because she wouldn't agree to anything, wanted to litigate everything, had agreements at different points, and then she refused to sign the papers.

113.495 - 120.177 Caller

She's lied about stuff. She's hidden money, just all kinds of stuff.

120.557 - 122.638 Jade Warshaw

Who has the kids now? What's the agreement now?

124.944 - 135.172 Caller

But right now, just recently, the kids were taken away, and our oldest son was granted guardianship of them.

135.372 - 137.114 Jade Warshaw

Taken away from you or taken away from her?
