Q: where can i find a pro bono lawyer willing to work with me with in custody battle?
i cant afford to pay all that money for any of these lawyers or attorneys ive talked to and im trying to get my son to legally be able to stay with me in OR for the school years instead of in CA with his dad..im not trying to take him away completely i just want to swap the agreement. I deserve to have him for school and have done nothing but good for myself and him since he was born. Please help me. My judge was so unfair.
A:
Asking for a pro bono attorney is like going to the grocery store and asking for a free cart of groceries. Many attorneys do offer pro bono work, but we do not all have the time to dedicate to such an endeavor since we have families to feed as well.
I would suggest contacting attorneys and seeing if you can work out a payment plan instead of asking for free work. St. Andrew's Legal Clinic I believe handles family law cases, but I think they operate on a sliding scale system.
