Procedural requirements for filing motions differ from state to state, but generally your would file a motion for temporary support pending the trial. If there is any way that you can hire an attorney to come with you tomorrow and to take your case please do so. Or try legal aid or a clinic or a local pro bono service of a bar association. Good luck.
