[quote=Anonymous]Find a lawyer. Tomorrow. If you need to, take the day off and send the kids to daycare, find a lawyer that can see you tomorrow afternoon and get moving. This man is off his rocker and you need the kids with you. Alternatively, you can head to the courthouse and find out what steps you need to take, and may be able to file for emergency custody without a lawyer, and then find and retain a lawyer to help with everything that comes next.

Let daycare/school know that if he shows up they are to call you immediately and stall him so the kids don't leave the premises.

If he is threatening suicide, that may be enough for a no contact order until he is stable - that's not an acceptable threat and could put you and your kids in danger. Take it seriously.

You and your children are better off without him. I promise. Life will be so much better once this is behind you - but this next part is going to be hard and stressful. Rally your support base - if you have family who can come stay with you and help now is the time to ask. Or if you have friends that can help with daycare pick-up/drop off while you run around finding a lawyer and getting emergency court orders, call in the troops.

Just make sure that once you get those court orders that you provide them to the necessary people. Daycare needs to know that he's not allowed to pick up, and they need to know what to do about it.

Good luck![/quote]
