More details to this question:
Me and the mother of my children were never married. Had 3 kids and we split after some years. Then she passed away, I wasn't Informed until later, after her grandmother (children's great-grandmother), was given my 3 kids (she had 6 kids total). I wasn't allowed to see or talk to my kids at all after that, and it's been hard to fight what I don't know. How do I proceed?

It sounds like paternity was never established and that's why you aren't getting anywhere. You will need to file to establish paternity, which you will need to do through your local CSEA office. After paternity is established, you can move for custody and parental rights and responsibilities through the juvenile court.
