there is a contempt motion filled on me there is an agreement that has been closed in 2022 but my kids mom filled a motion and i feel I need representation because she has an attorney
A:
You should search in Justia's online directory by clicking the "Find a Lawyer" button for an attorney who practices Family Law and/or Child Custody in or near the county where the motion has been filed, and then review the attorney's profile to determine if the attorney offers pro bono or a sliding scale fee schedule.
You might also check with any legal aid organizations near you.
Some attorneys will defend a contempt motion related to child support or visitation on a flat fee basis if the only legal service to be provided is a defense of the contempt motion at a single court appearance.
