What to do if I filed for divorce but have not gone to court and my husband will not let me see our children?

I recently filed for divorce but we have not had our initial conference. I am a stay at home mom and have no income and have been out of the home for 3 months. My husband is refusing.g to let me see our children or talk to them. I can’t file an emergency custody motion because the kids aren’t in danger. How do I see my kids?

Okay but you can probably file for temporary visitation at the very least.  When you filed for divorce the request should have been filed at the same time.  Please, please go and speak with a legal services agency to get help here.  He has no right to keep you from your children.  Good luck.
