What to do about back child support payments and lack of vicitation rights?

My ex and I have been separated for 7 months now. She won’t sign the divorce papers or allow me to see my 3 kids unless under her supervision. I desperately want to see my kids but not her. My support payments are based on making $20 an hour which I don’t and can’t make right now. More than half my paycheck goes to support and I’m really far behind. Shes taking me to court for contempt and won’t allow me to see the kids. I have no money and don’t know what to do. I want a divorce, I want to see my kids and the support lowered to a reasonable number.

I suggest that if you cannot afford a family law attorney to assist you in the difficult situation that you find yourself in that you look into the following options:

1. contact your local legal aid clinic to see if it can be of assistance;

2. contact your county bar association to see if there is a program where attorney's volunteer time to assist people such as you that are in need and do not have the funds to pay an attorney;

3. contact your nearest law school to see if there is a program there where law students under the supervision of attorneys assist those similarly situated as you.
