You need to reach out to a local legal aid group. More and more areas are offering services for women in your situation. A good starting point is your local district clerk's office. Call them and see what resources are available in your area. Some areas have formal groups like "legal aid" or "legal services." Others have clinics wherein local attorneys agree to help out litigants for no or reduced fees. Also contact your local United Way. Some United Way and church groups also have information about local services.
You need an attorney to help you... mainly because you'll need to request temporary orders that request marital support and child support to help you get back to be financially independent.
