What can I do to see my son who is living in another state with his mother?
My girlfriend and I have a 1 year old son, whom I lived with for 10 months. We split up and I had to move right across the border to the neighboring state to live with my parents. We were splitting time with him week to week but she started seeing another guy and now she wants full custody and will not let me see him. I cannot afford an attorney by any means and the legal aid society in my area is not taking cases about custody at the moment. I just want to see my kid. I do not want to contact her so I don’t risk her saying I harassing her or anything. What should I do until I can find a affordable lawyer and what can I do to safely see my kid without worsening things?

Good question. Given the predicament that you are in I would contact your county bar association to see if it has a program to assist people in your situation with child custody issues. Another option is to contact your lical law school to see if the school has a prgram (clinic) to assist those in need with family law issues.
