Q: are there any programs that help single moms get legal help for custody/child support?
I have a 4 month old and recently I have been letting his dad have him every other weekend. 2 weeks ago the last visitation, there was an incident that leads me to believe he is an unfit parent. He is hiring a lawyer,(his parents have a lot of money). I'm a struggling single mom and haven't got a dime from him and am scared of the outcome if I don't have someone to represent me but I dont have a lot of money...any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated. I'm very stressed about this. I am on Frederick county md thank you

Hello,
Since you live in Frederick County, you should contact the Legal Aid Bureau for Frederick County. They have staff attorneys that represent individuals in family law matters. The phone number is (800) 679-8813. You may also want to contact the Frederick County Bar Association, their number is 301.663.1139 | email: info@frederickbar.org. They are probably closed for Veteran's Day however, you may contact them on Monday.
Sincerely,
