Q: I am looking for a family lawyer for child support services and child custody. I need a free consultation on my case.
My ex husband has custody of our daughter, 2 years old, uses her as a pawn against me. When things are going good with them, I can see her, but when I do something they don't like or agree with them I am not allowed to see her. I need help! I have a court date in May coming up and can't afford to pay for a lawyer.
A: If you can't afford to pay for an attorney I'm not sure how we can assist you here. We can't give you a step by step guide of how to represent yourself. I would suggest using your credit, obtaining a loan, asking family & friends, and doing what you can to gather the funds to hire an attorney. Because if you appear for a final hearing unrepresented, the outcome will be final, whether you find it favorable to you or not.
