You should try to get an attorney to help you since there are custody issues involved. Check to see if you qualify for representation by legal aid or see if there is a law school nearby to where you as live that runs a free/low cost clinic. Additionally, you can contact your county/state bar association which may have a list of lawyers who will take your case for a reduced fee (possibly even for free). Further, go online and check for local women's support groups in your area. Finally, you can contact the Department of Social Services as it may be able to refer you to inexpensive legal services.
