My goal isn't to stop providing for my children's needs. That $3k/month is their rent, food, clothing, and bills.

Learn the law in your state, figure out what forms you need to fill out yourself. I believe you file motions "pro se".

If you say you're as good as you are, figuring this stuff out for you should be easy, I understand the funk you're in.. but as you can see.. there are complete strangers rooting for you, and your family. Sometimes you just need to see things from a different perspective.
