A: I guess it depends on what you consider to be affordable. You can contact different lawyers and ask them what they charge and decide what you think is affordable or fair. Just remember. You get what you pay for.

A:
You can start by reaching out to your local family law facilitator's office. They offer free assistance and can guide you through the paperwork and court procedures. You can find your local family law facilitator by visiting the California Courts website or contacting your county's superior court.
Another resource is legal aid organizations, which provide low-cost or free legal services to those who qualify based on income. Organizations like Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) or Bay Area Legal Aid can help you navigate the custody process. Check their websites or call them to see if you qualify for assistance.
You might also consider self-help centers at your local courthouse. These centers provide information and resources to help you represent yourself in court. They offer workshops, clinics, and individual assistance to help you understand your rights and the legal process for filing for custody.
