Q: I need to find a pro bono attorney for a grandmother/grandson custody issue in Iroquois Co. IL.
My grandson has been with me for 16 years, (that is his age as well). His father is out of the picture. His birth mother, in another county has began seeing him more over this summer. She now wants him to live there. She has not given one dime in child support, or done anything to help with him in 16 years. She has never provided a thing for him. I want to try and gain full custody and back child support. She has a history of drug use, felony, another son raised by her parents, and so many other issues. I need a pro bono lawyer, and I need help quickly before she puts him in school. Can you help me?
