How do I find a pro bono lawyer?
I don’t have money for another legal fight but if I don’t get a lawyer by next week , I will only be able to see my kids on Christmas, spring break and 6 weeks of summer. My ex-husband has primary custody of the kids and we both have legal custody. He works so much that the babysitter practically raises them. I am the hands on parent, he just looks much more stable. I have not been abused so I don’t qualify for the programs in my area. My first court battle I lost because I couldn’t afford a lawyer and by the time I got one it was to late.

Have you tried legal aid to see if you qualify for representation by them? Also, check with your local county bar association; it may have al ist of attorneys who take such cases for free or for a low cost. Finally, check if there is a law school in your area; they typically run low income legal clinics that handle custody cases.
