My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas

I was divorced in March 2009, which took 7 months to complete. There was no mediation or meetings, just the initial hearing and a final one with no negotiations at all, except for what was done before in the lobby of the courtroom before we saw a judge. My ex-wife left me in March 2008 and took our then 7 month old son and moved across the state to West Texas, 250+ miles from our home. She would not let me see him unless I made the 5 hour drive across the state. I filed for divorce in June after she kept refusing to bring him to see me.

Our initial hearing was in August and just after the temporary hearing, her dad and her packed up everything in our apartment and moved it to her home, leaving me my personal belongings, such as clothes and a recliner. After our temporary hearing, I moved to Austin to accept a job, which I have been at ever since.

From the time of our temporary hearing until our final hearing, there wasn't much negotiation with our attorneys. Her attorney set a final court date, without any type of mediation or negotiation. When we arrived at the final court date, my ex and i worked out an agreement in terms of taxes and other financial issues, which was rejected by her attorney and never made it into our final decree. I have been paying our tax bill from 2008, which was well over $1,600.

There have been numerous issues come up, including me not getting credited for back child support I owed her that was paid in full and visitation.

In our decree that was filed, there was a clause that was not in the one I signed that stated, if I moved out of the county I was residing in to another county, I forfeited meeting her at our halfway point for visitation and I would have to drive to her home (which is a 10 hour round trip) for my weekend visitation. The issue here is I moved to a bordering county where I was employed. Since I moved, she has refused visitation and agrees to meet me once a month. If something comes up, such as a work assignment or illness, I just lose my weekend as she refuses to make it up. Since 2010, when I moved, I have seen my son a total of 7 weekends, a week during spring break in 2010, a week for Christmas, 15 days in the summer of 2010, 28 days in the summer of 2011 and that's it.

I do call him regularly, but if I talk to him on the phone, I am the one that has to call. She has called me once to let me talk to my son once in the last four years.

Also, her brother lives less than 50 miles from the town I live in and according to our son, they visit quite a bit. I have never received a phone call or anything letting me know he's there.

I will also add that I am up to date on my child support, carry him on my medical, dental and vision insurance issued by my place of employment and have done so since our temporary orders hearing. I bring that up because she has ran up over $2,000 worth of medical bills on top of the support I am supposed to pay and harasses me daily about them. I will also add, that she and my son have been living with her parents ever since she left me in March 2008 and works two jobs.

I need to get this fixed, but don't have the money to hire an attorney and make too much money to qualify for legal aid. Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Let me also add that I was the petitioner in our divorce, but her attorney wrote and drafted the final divorce papers.
