I have no rights..........

About a year ago I was forced into signing my rights away. It wasn't because i didn't want to pay child support or see my kids. What had happen my x wife was arrested for drugs and fire arm. And for some reason the welfare thought that I allowed this to happen and did nothing about it. I live in another state and was not allowed to talk to my kids. And when my daughter did finally call me she was trying to tell me what was going on. But her mom found out and put a stop to it. And now I am informed that the kids might be with her again.
Now the state of Oklahoma is coming after me at full force. They want 65% of my check plus they want me to put my kids on my insurance. They want all this but I have no rights to the kids. I am not allowed to see them,talk to them or anything else. When i was sending them stuff for Christmas etc.....I was informed that there mother threw it in the trash. How can a man fight DHS when you don't have the money and no one want to listen to what you have to say. The law needs to be changed that the fathers have the same rights as the mothers.
We also should be able to get the same benfits as the mother. Why should we be told no we can't help you because you paying child support. Yes I have remarried but so had she but she got a divorce. Its like my x doesn't want me to have anyone in my life but its ok for her to have men in her life. And I would like to see a copy where it shows that just because your the father that its just your place to take care of the kids. Now days it takes 2 working to make it in this world. And someone needs to explain why the state thinks its going to get a man to pay child support if they take his drive lic,hunting lic,fishing lic . It seem that they want to take it all away from a man.
If they don't have a driver lic how in the world are they going to be able to get to their jobs so they can make the money to pay child support. This is going to far.
