The fact that you are online now gives you many avenues for assistance. You can help yourself by going to the county court website and utilize their free legal forms online, print the forms, and file them with the poverty affidavit so that you will not have any court costs, and get your motions before the court.
You can also visit legal aid, who provide free legal services when custody is been taken away from you.
Also, many local law schools have legal clinics, law students who are learning how to litigate cases under supervision, who will provide you with similar free legal services. Go online, search out your options, just like you went online to find this website. There are a limited number of attorneys to provide pro bono legal services, but these are few, as divorce and custody battles are lengthy and protracted. Good luck.
You need to contact Legal Aid in your county and ask for assistance. Do not delay. These matters can get out of hand very quickly. You need to seek representation now. If Legal Aid cannot assist ask them for a referral.
If all else fails, talk with family and try to get some funds together to retain an attorney. Again, do not delay.
